Hello all,
In the birthday pack, there is this stamp that has me stumped. I suspect a Tsarist Russia fiscal issue, as the text is clearly in Russian language, a face value of 5 kopecks, and the double-headed eagle is a Russian Empire give-away. Plus the band at the bottom that may be meant to receive a signature. But my catalogs don't mention any such stamps, so if someone can give me a little more info (for instance, what does the word on the first line mean?), I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance!

I see my instincts were leading me in the right direction.
