Nice find, Rod!
It is in fact a "registered return receipt" card, issued in 1939. In the Higgins & Gage "World Postal Stationery" catalogue it is listed as ZC1. I have no further information, except to say that I don't see these cards very often.

Translation required. Any members assist with the dubious / spurious Overprints please. The overprinted stamps of the USSR immediately after the breakup of the Soviet Union are a real mess. Some of them are legitimate but number-wise it isn't a very big percentage - huge amounts of them exist, mostly unauthorized. There's a good article on Linn's about them. I don't have any of them printed on a post-breakup Russian stamp like you do - I do have one printed on a Ukrainian stamp of the same size. Top row: Sochi x 2, Tuva Saratov Oryol Tobolsk Tyumen V.I. Lenin x 3 TBL x 2 - Tobolsk also, apparently Ryan |

Tsarist Russia Cinderella. Need confirmation. Image of (General?) Konilov? If so, I have information on him. Thanks That certainly looks like General Kornilov, at least judging by an image seen on his Wikipedia page. The name is spelled "Korailov" on your stamp, though - that name brings up almost no hits related to the Russian Civil War other than OCR misspellings of scanned text which originally said "Kornilov". Here's a Russian-language page showing your label, identified with the normal "Kornilov" spelling. The page shows a number of errors in the text shown on the various labels in the set (including the misspelling of Kornilov's name), and it says that the numerous errors probably means that the labels weren't produced in Russia. One researcher claims they were printed in Italy.  Ryan |

Try this out. Google Image Seach drag and drop image from your computer onto this page and hit search by image and google will find images that match it by image recognition ... cool. And great for stamp identification. |

A sad collection of 1. Russia 1921 Wrangel Issues Russian Refugees Overprints (Overprint on top of the Ukrainian Trident)  Quote from link: Various issues of Russia, the Russian PO’s in Levant, Ukraine & South Russia were overprinted with new values and Cyrillic “Pocta Russkoy Armiy” & “Russkaya Pocta” for use on correspondence from the refugee camps. The original surcharging was made by V.M. Essayan during 1920-1921 in Constantinople, where reprints from new stones were made, with even later printings produced in Paris entirely for collectors. About 190 different stamps were overprinted. The original idea behind these issues was to raise money for the impoverished camps, almost all covers were cancelled to order and produced for philatelists but they certainly represent a fascinating and heartrending episode in the great Russian story.

falschung, why did you translate СССР as Russia. I think that is more correct to use USSR(the Soviet Union).

why did you translate СССР as Russia I think that's probably due to most of us here being users of the Scott catalogues, which will list those issues under "Russia" in the catalogue listings. Imperial Russia, Russian SFSR, USSR, & Russian Federation stamps are all listed under "Russia" in the Scott catalogue, all numbered sequentially without starting any new listings. This is different from the Michel catalogue which gives USSR stamps their own numbering starting at 1. Michel lists and numbers the post-USSR Russia stamps sequentially following the RSFSR stamps.

Wikepedia defines as "СССР (Союз Советских Социалистических Республик) is a Russian abbreviation for the Soviet Union. Written in Cyrillic alphabet symbols, the abbreviation is often misinterpreted as if it were written in Latin letters 'CCCP'. The Cyrillic letters translate to 'SSSR' in Latin alphabet symbols, Hence it should be pronounced as SSSR or Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik."
For those of us who grew up in the Soviet cold war era and remember the threat still tend to think first the words "Soviet" or translate CCCP as USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)! It's all so confusing!
