The "Missing 5" error for the 35-on-2 perf Kolchak stamp. (has anyone seen this error on the unperforated stamp?) It's an interesting error. My theory is that it originally was stamp 48 in the sheet, was then repaired, and then appeared again later as stamp 47 in the sheet, making me wonder if it was introduced again for speculative purposes...

Forgeries. The ink is completely wrong, much too dark.

Both forgeries.

Thank you!

Siberia...I collected stamps and covers for many years. I stopped serious collecting of covers after 1997, and sold my stamps a few years ago, but I still collect interesting covers. I've started working on writing a blog for Siberia (Civil War), but it will take me years to finish writing everything. After 27 years of collecting I am drowning in information... You asked for pictures, what kind of pictures? Covers? Stamps? And hello, nice to meet you!

Thanks! Now to see examples of such mail... Incidentally, between Armenia and Karabakh was an Azeri town called Lachin. In a recent Armenian map it was called Berddzor - another topic for collectors: renamed towns.

Yes. Are there imitations too?

Dear colleagues, I apologize for writing in English as my written Russian is very bad....I have collected some of the ex-USSR republics since 1991, Azerbaijan in particular. The stamps are interesting (I am still trying to find out the status of 1994 stamps without teeth) but the use of the stamps on covers is the real fun for me. But it seems I am alone in this! Who else is interested in postal rates of Azerbaijan? And a related question: since the Karabakh conflict, a large part of Azerbaijan is occcupied by Karabakh/Armenia forces. This area includes important towns like Agdam, Dzhebrail, etc. Are there now Karabakh post offices in these towns of occupied Azerbaijan?

54 years old, started when I was 6 years old, then stopped for awhile, and became serious again when i was 25, and very serious when I "discovered" Russia Civil War philately in 1985. I was a very specialized collector for a long time, now I enjoy many areas to collect: Siberia, Georgia, Paraguay, Netherlands, post-USSR Azerbaijan, etc...
