I can't find these overprints. They are stamps of the Westers Army of general Awaloff-Bermondt from 1919 with overprint "Omsk" and a Zepplin.
Are they real or fake ?

They seem to be inspired by the first airship builder in Ukraine:

On never issued Ukraine stamps:These are all bogus overprints.

Very nice "stamps"! And at least Donetsk is in Ukraine.I can't understand what Omsk has to do with Western Army issues.

Fake overprints on fake stamps .Those Western Army stamps were printed in Germany between the wars and lack the details of the originals .

Yikes! I can see halftone dots on those close ups of the Latvians. Never seen offset reprints/forgeries of these before.
