An exceptional and historically vital philatelic collection from the period of the Ukrainian War of Independence (1918–1920), representing the postal history of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR).
This highly specialized set is remarkable for its premium composition. It showcases an authentic block of 8 stamps (2-kopeck green definitives) and a block of 8 stamps (1-kopeck orange definitives), both heavily overprinted with different regional types of the Ukrainian National Trident (Tryzub) emblem on Imperial Russian stamp bases. The layout also features a scarce horizontal pair of large-format 1-ruble stamps with bold black tridents, a neat quadblock (quarter block of 4) of the 1-kopeck denomination, and a beautiful bottom row of nine individual single stamps showing various trident styles and historical postmarks. Select pieces bear authentic period postal cancellations, while the rest preserve Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
Features:
- Set of 31 vintage stamps
- Authentic 1918–1920 Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) provisional and trident issues
- Issued during the historic Ukrainian revolutionary and independence era
- Includes 2 large blocks of 8 stamps, 1 quarter block of 4, 1 horizontal pair, and 9 individual singles
- Features distinct regional varieties of the handstruck and printed Trident (Tryzub) overprints
- Mint Hinged (MH) condition with heavy historical cancellation marks / postmarks / surcharges
The set includes stamps with various base denominations heavily modified by tridents, such as:
- 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 15 kopecks, and 1 ruble values.
A fascinating collectible for:
- Ukrainian philately and Eastern European historical postal experts
- worldwide collectors specializing in provisional overprints, localized surcharges, and revolutionary eras
