I need to know where I can find this in Scott. I know it's Russia AR3 (Year = 1918), but I just can't find the right volume and page. Thanks for any help!

Adam,
Unless they are Postal Savings stamps I don't think Scott evens list them, like so many other non-postal items they don't list.

re: Russian Savings Stamp

My understanding is that it's a savings stamp used as postage. I found a few references online to AR3. I was searching through some other references in Scott and I understand that to be a postal-fiscal code designation in Scott (like AR1, AR2, AR3, AR4, etc.).

I think I'm on the right track.

re: Russian Savings Stamp

These were postal savings stamps authorised for postal use and have full listing in SG and Michel.

I don't see the #AR3 number in my 2006 Scott Classic so maybe it's been added more recently.

It's not a postal fiscal as it was never a fiscal stamp in the first place but I guess Scott can still use the AR prefix if they want.

re: Russian Savings Stamp

Hi,

The Russian AR's are in volume 5 at the end of the regular issues and before the semi-postals ( page 751 in the 2010 catalogues).

re: Russian Savings Stamp

The Russian postal-fiscals were not added to the standard Scott WW catalogs until the 2010 Scott catalog. It appears between the regular and semi-postal sections of the Russia listings.

In the 2014 Scott, your stamp is Russia #AR3(12Jan1918) at 35¢ for an unused single.

Not sure if it might have appeared in the Scott Classic Specialized before 2010. My most recent Scott classic is 2007, and it's not listed in there.

Indeed, Scott does do whatever they want. Apparently facts don't get in the way...
