re: Russian Related - but what are they?

Good catch, Jansimon! The second one is easy, but the first one is relatively obscure. The first time I encountered that particular overprint, I searched for hours before I successfully identified it. Plus, there are many variations on the Armenia overprints not addressed in Scott (the catalog I was using at the time).

re: Russian Related - but what are they?

I used to have a large Civil War time collection, which I sold for a good price. It made me quite good in quickly identifying stamps like these. As a matter of fact, I think that both stamps are forgeries, given the poor quality. Especially the Armenian hand cancels are heavily forged.
