I'm trying to found out where the attached stamps are from. The purple overprint says 17 MAR 96. I asked various collectors from the US to Russia but no definite answer yet, does somebody have any idea?  |

They do appear to be of Russian origination! I will see what I may find! |

Hmm, some kind of zemstvo, maybe? (Zemstvos were rural delivery local issues from imperial Russia, there are thousands of varieties.) |

I already checked with a Russian expert and he did not recognize them as Russian |

The designs (arabesques) look a little like "Tannu Touva" to me.
(Purely a wild guess)
Mongolia? perhaps, design and horse cynosure.

Try focussing on that sun or star device under the horse. I bet that that can ID the source. |

It's a seal to somewhere! I've tried running possibilities on the Internet and come up empty!
It's not Russian, No 'R' on stamps as far as I can see! But the A & T II A would appears to be Latin based.
What ever happens, these our cool and interesting stamps! |

By all means, feel free to forward to anyone who might know. I checked with some further experts I know but no further result. Thxs, Mark |

Thxs. As the red cancelation is in Latin and not Cyrillic it is highly unlikely to be Russian. Anxious for further feedback from the members. |

Good question. I hadn't checked yet, but just looked at it and put it in the watermark detector, but as far as I can see there is none |
