Russian 1919 Army of the North - generally accepted as "Issued but not postally used” Hard to tell from scan but looks like one of MANY forgeries

The quality of the printing is very poor, (hi-res photo with i-Phone) Nelson (@falshung) has an excellent website dealing with forgeries - have a look at his page for the 1919 Army of the North and you can see how much clearer the printing is on genuine copies of this series.
