Here are three more from the set. Add a 70k claret coloured version, and that's the lot.



Georgia was a Russian Empire province from 1810 until after WWI when the German Military Forces withdrew, and they declared independence. That lasted until 1923 when they were occupied by Soviet forces and merged into the Transcaucasion Soviet Federated Socialist Republic.
These stamps are from their oh-so brief brush with independence.

James, AV, there are in fact 9 in the set! They were issued in 1919/1920 on greyish paper and white paper. You can spot the white paper 60 kopeck issue on this scan. There are imperf. printings from earlier in 1919, and also some perf. 11 1/2 on white paper. Some of these are pretty much impossible to distinguish from the later printings, such as the 60 kopeck carmine in this scan.

Are Georgia stamps undervalued? When Russia invaded Georgia a few years ago lots of destruction there probably caused the loss of many stamp collections!

I wouldn't think so because they were printed in large numbers in Paris (Armenia also) and released to the philatelic market. They are probably worth a lot genuinely used on cover (i.e. not CTO). Most Armenia stamps never left Paris because of the Soviet invasion.
