177. USSR Philatelic Tax Stamps
Unknown 176 Back to UPO Home Unknown 178
| This is one of the first Philatelic Tax stamps from the USSR. However, my overprints are all sans serif, and the catalogue illustrations are all serifed. What gives? |
| All my copies are also "sans serif". Michel catalog does show serifs in their illustrated overprint however the RSFSR Specialized Catalogue, edited by Zagorski, St Petersburg, 1997, illustrates it "sans serif". George Shaw probably has studied this overprint in his preparatons for the ROSSICA RSFSR specialized handbook and would have some definitive information. Contact George thru ROSSICA. [Jim Simon] |
