Pretty sure the bottom 2 are Finland Scott 66 and 79. Just was looking at those 2 in my collection yesterday. |

Top is Russia Army of the North #5. Can't really tell because you have a camera pic instead of a scan, you may have a forgery. |

The first stamp is Army of the North, at the back of the Russia listings.

Thanks for the responses. Forgot to check Finland. By the way, I understand that the Army of the North stamp might be a forgery but I was just wondering why it would be forged since the value of real thing is pretty low? Jim |

Hi Jim, I believe the Northern Army stamp is a forgery as Kim has suggested. |

Many low value stamps have been forged and the 1920s seems to have been a popular period for this.
The point was to make money by selling large numbers of the forgeries to dealers.
I have a complete sheet of each of the forged Northern Army stamps.

Not for value but for interests, it would be nice to know the forgeries from the real thing. Jim |

Yes, Ciletaliph, every single one of the stamps in your pic is a forgery. |
