Hello, those cancels look interesting to me. As I don't have much knowledge about Russia, I would like to know: 1. are those cancels with parallel lines some kind of RPO or Railway cancels? (4 stamps in the 1st row)2. what town is *ABA ? (3K red and 4K red in the 1st row)3. is that really a Taipei cancel? Perhaps a known box cancel? (3K red)4. I have not seen numeral cancels on that early issue with a border circle, which type is this? Maybe Moscow town sub-offices but the dots are too large I think. (10K brown-blue)

Number 3. Try Tallinn! It looks like one of the mid-1920s machine cancels, probably used as a receiving cancel on mail from USSR. |

Yes, I think you are right - I should have done this before:  Somehow this looked to Asian to me that I read Taipei - without the help of the computer which I used now. So this cancel is probably explained. Looking forward for learning about the others. |

I read "Täieli" . "Täielik" means "full" or "complete" in estonian language. |

Here is the complete machine cancel,on an estonian cover. That means "for each letter please note the full addressee and the sender's address"  (not mine) |

The third stamp probably has a LIBAVA postmark.
This is Liepaja in Latvia. |

I agree that the seventh stamp may have one of the earlier style of oval Moscow town post sub-office postmarks.
My only reference for these is Kiryushkin & Robinson who don't show all the varieties. |

thank you very much, Nigel and Valoyene, it's great to see your knowledge and examples here. That helped a lot, I know nearly everything about all my Russian stamps where I was lost. I think the first stamp is also a Warsaw cancel. Is there a market for Russian stamps used in Poland as there is for the ones in Finland? I know the very interesting page about Russian stamps in Finland: http://www.jiv.dk/finland/stamps_ru-1889.phpIs there a similar information for Poland? (if it's equally important to collectors) What about the two last stamps in the 1st row, is that a known cancel type, it looks like something typical. |

thank you, perf12, for the image. Yes, it's then a Moscow cancel, nice to have for me.
about the link: there is a lot of information about the stamps of Poland, but I didn't find information about Russian stamps used in Poland - or at least I didn't know where to click to find this. Is there a page on this website about the Russian stamps?
To understand it better: are those reveiving cancels or cancels where a Russian cancel was missing, or is it like in Finland that the Russian stamps were actually used there as postage?
PS: I know about the older issue with the Poland ring cancellations, but my stamps are younger and I did not know that Russian stamps were used in Poland to that later time. |
