I found this Soviet Yuri Gagarin stamp on ebay or Molotok (can't remember which). The seller's description suggested it may have been an essay that didn't go into production. The USSR did issue a GAgarin stamp in 1984 but it looked totally different. What do you think?

It appears to be private issue. Many times in Russia as well as other countries. They are mostly used for local delivery.

I think it was a test release. Design this stamps is similar to the real issue. But the linear perforation in USSR was made for test issues
