Karelia: Specialized Stamps: 1922 Issue

Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. All items are available for viewing on approval.

The Karelian 1922 issue has been heavily forged, however, the genuine stamps are easily identifiable. I only sell 1922 Issue Karelian 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 Issue stamps offered by non-specialists or through general auctions and especially Internet auctions, are not genuine. Caution is advised.
