1919 - South Russian Issues

Hello Folks

As always I am confused again with the Russian Issues...

Are these the right sequence?

Yes, but the two overprinted ones don't seem in the sequence

Believe your photo includes mixed sets.

The five imperforate issues (Scott 61 thru 65) are part of the 1919 "Denikin Issue". These are all low catalogue value.

There are six addtl stamps (Scott 66 to 71) to the "Denikin Issue". A larger stamp featuring Saint George. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10 ruble values.

Perforated examples of Scott 61 to 67 are of private origin.

Believe the stamp on the far left is Scott 20 (perf 14 x 14.5). The stamp (with surcharge) dates to 1918 - 1920. Scott refers to this series/issues as "Kuban Government, Ekaterinodar Issues".

The stamp on the far right appears to be Scott 36 (50k on 2k, grey green). Assume it is imperforate. Also part of the "Kuban" series.

Hello Cal and Peter,

Thank you very much for your help


Yes. These are the low catalog items. Got them for 50c together ..

But my copy of the Scott Vol#1 has spaces for only these and these help me close it out.. Hurrayyyy...

Added pertinent?? info

The left stamp was issued Nov. 1918 - 5,600,000 perf copies, 5600 were issued imperforate
Many varieties of the 25 exist.

The right stamp was also issued Nov. 1918 primarily imperf, 4.9 million vs 1500 perf.
There are 5 distinct varieties of the numeral, yours is the more common one.

The center ones as noted are 1919 ARMY OF THE SOUTH OF RUSSIA/ General Denikin / and the low values of a set of 11 imperf with 3 values found perfed.
Some catalogs say they were issued in 1920 but by then the Deniken army had suffered major losses and was disbanded.
They are found on grey paper and a less common white paper
As they are imperf and simple to duplicate, forgeries of the Denikin are numerous as unused.

Thank you SForgCa for the added info. A nice read.

It is always surprising to see how these invading armies issue millions of stamps while they are at war... Confederate states, warlord issues etc... Somehow it seems to be in their priority list I guess
