Below are Estonia C1 - C13. Scott says counterfeits and forged overprints abound and that authentication is required for C4 - C8, but I lack the courage. |

Below are Estonia C1 - C13. Interesting, the use of "Helsingfors" on this album page. I tried to quickly figure out when the Swedish name was dropped from common usage in English to be replaced by the Finnish endonym "Helsinki" but I struck out. I did find an online copy of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica and all articles there use "Helsingfors". Ryan |

Mac might know. |

Concerning the 1920 and 1923 airmail issues for Estonia....
The air route was across the Gulf of Finland between Helsingfors (Helsinki, Finland) and Reval (Tallinn, Estonia)
Those old place names translate really slick with Google Maps 
I just typed it Reval, Estonia, & the map for Tallinn popped right up. Same for Helsinki with Helsingfors, Finland.
Hope that helps.
