Found a bunch perf and imperf versions of the same stamps hinged to a page of Russia, but I'm not finding them in Scotts or the StampWorld online catalog. Any ideas? Thanks, Dave.

Hi,

These were created for an anti-Bolshevik army in White Russia in 1920 but were never issued.

There's a picture of one in Scott Volume 1 at the start of the Belarus listing.

It's an interesting set: four values have exactly the same design but the other one is slightly different. There are lots of forgeries.

re: THE HOARD #2: Russia? Bulgaria?

Thanks, just found it. All 5 perf AND imper were in this old album which was dated 1923 and signed by "Bobby age 14 1/2". From some of the other things in this particular Hoard it looks like his father was a senior executive with Manufacturer's Life. There are some nice and useful (if not plentiful) stamps to harvest. Not sure if that would augur well for these being legit, but it matters not as the ascribed CV would not make authentication feasible.

Off to Auction they will go, hopefully to find a good home. (Michael: this is not a solicitation to sell).

The stamp in the image is a forgery.

The telltale sign is the spot below the woman's mouth that touches the chin. In the original, this is a dash that does not touch the chin.

I should have known by the hipster "soul-patch" that it was forged...
