Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. Rough perforations are to be expected on all North Ingermanland stamps and are not a defect. All items are available for viewing on approval. I am also interested in buying most North Ingermanland stamps.
Only the second North Ingermanland issue (pictorial designs) has been heavily forged. (Credible forgeries of the first issue have not been reported.) The genuine stamps are usually easily identifiable. I only sell North Ingermanland stamps and covers that have been properly examined. I do not consider it necessary that collectors incur the cost of certificates for these issues, if they are purchased from a knowledgable specialist. However, in my experience, a large proportion of the 1922 (Second) Issue stamps offered by non-specialists or through general auctions and especially Internet auctions, are not genuine. Caution is advised.
