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.

3 [1920 25 p Coat of Arms] Used with Superb centering, huge even margins, excellent perforations, and neat, proper corner cancellation. While this is not a scarce stamp, it is "rarely seen" in such nice quality!

North Ingermanland: Scott #7 [1920 10 mk Coat of Arms] Mint, very lightly hinged, with Average centering. The centering is so far off -- cutting off the left "1" of "10" that this could also be called a misperforation. A fresh example with very nice color, crisp perforations, and sharp perforations. The scarcity of this stamp -- only 2500 were printed!! -- almost overrides the centering. This issue is not known to have been forged (though there are crude white paper very modern reproductions). Guaranteed genuine, of course. Accompanied by an American Philatelic Expertizing Service (APS/ASDA) color photo certificate. A fresh example of a very scarce stamp that is missing from most collections. With better centering this would sell for $350 for F-VF or $400 for VF.
