The stamp has no gum. The question is in the subject window.
Thanks!

re: Is this a Scott stamp or a cut square from what?

I have exactly the same problem and posted about it a while ago! I have two versions of the 50 denomination as in this quote from the other post: The 50 denomination is either #1220 or 1349. I have both but can't locate the 40 anywhere, with perfs or without. Maybe it was re-issued as a 40 as a label??
No one could tell me anything about the stamp, which is the same one you show, but I have a feeling it is something like a label! I can find no mention in either Scott's or Stanley Gibbons!

In the meantime, I found that 40 k stamp is a cutout from an envelope.
No other details, but I am still working on it.

Thanks Virgil, that's what I figured. Meanwhile I have it in my Minkus Russia on the same page as the two 50's with a comment saying "possibly a label". That's good enough to cover all possibilities!

Just received directly from a correspondent from Russia that the envelope with this type of stamp was issued in 1950!

Thanks Virgil, good to know! Now I'll relabel this stamp "envelope stamp 1950". Always good to know exactly what something is!!

Another cut square from Imperial Russia. Any chance to find the year of issue?
