Looks like a Russian square-cut to me

It is probably Russian as the writing around the edge translates as seven kopeks. But you can't be sure as Russia had their fingers in a lot of other nations pies.
It looks as if it has been cut from a pre-paid envelope.

In Linn's Stamp Identifier, there is a similar stamp (with the double head eagle in the center) and it came from "Bosania and Herzegovinia"

The double-headed eagle in the image is the coat of arms of Russia. Bosnia and Herzegovina's coat of arms is similar, but not the same.

Looks Russian to me, what with the coat of arms and the currency (kopeks). AFAIK 7 kopeks were a common postage rate in czarist times.

This is heavily postmarked in MAR 1884. I can only make out CEM on the left and KO at the top. The value is 7 of something. Please help me to identify this one!
