I understand these to be Korean(?) lithograph(?) stamps. What can you tell me about them? Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim
All your stamps are from North Korea. I am not sure but the first scan, which may be up-side-down (?), looks like Scott #34 with a CV of $25.00 mint. You have to be careful that they are not reprints though because they are greatly reduced in value.
The soldier & flag stamp is Scott #28 and has a CV of $3.00 mint. (2009 Scott editions prices)
Hope this helps

thanks, Chimo...I cant seem to upload the first image right side up.
I had several sheets of green NK issues that I sold for $3/stamp as whole sheets about a year ago. The gentleman that bought them confirmed all the sheets are authentic.
The Scott #34 I can find on line is the 3 Cheon.
I cant find an image of Scott #28, but the description (man/flag) matches.
Are the prices you stated per stamp or per sheet?
What's the significance of the perf and imperf on the two sheets?
Thanks, Jim

you should look at the other post about buying stamps from NK, Cuba etc... edit... official.. Quote:
The U.S. government, which does not prohibit trade with North Korea but requires anyone importing its products to the United States to report them prior to doing so, has accused Pyongyang of various financial wrongdoing, including counterfeiting dollars and cigarettes.

Thanks, stampvirgin....I dont quite get your point relative to these stamps, in our possession since the Korean War.

I think the US government got more to worry about than a bunch of 60 year old stamps. |

The Korean litho stamp Scott 34 I see listed on line is not the same as the orange one I posted. online at collect.at/korea-1901-3-cheon-stamp-scott-34-fusan-cancellation-p-6840.html listed as scott 34 is a 3 Cheon stamp...this one  I see on the Penn Family website, the stamp I posted is labeled as Order of the National Flag. 1 Won -- below  |

I'm bumping this thread because I'm still trying to find the Scott's number for the orange 1 Won.
Thanks, Jim

I took them to a stamp dealer in Petaluma (Harmer-Schau) who took them to the recent stamp convention in Atlanta GA.
The Scott numbers are 22 (the orange 1 Won) and 28 (the red/white/blue soldier).
Five North Korean stamp experts at the convention determined they are original, particularly with the accompanying provenance, a cover mailed August 8, 1951.
If you know of any interest in buying these, let me know. I have 6 (100x) sheets of the Scott 22 and 9 sheets (100x) of the Scott 28.
Thanks, Jim
