An exceptional, specialist-grade historical collection of vintage postage stamps from the period of the Ukrainian War of Independence (1918), representing the early provisional postal history of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR).
This elite philatelic layout stands out for its high density of multiple-unit pieces, focusing entirely on Imperial Russian definitive bases modified locally with early Ukrainian National Trident (Tryzub) overprints. The collection features three distinct multi-stamp configurations: one vertical sheet segment of 6 stamps (2-kopeck value), one clean quarter block of 4 stamps (1-kopeck value), and an exceptional large block of 6 stamps (1-kopeck value) preserving its wide intact bottom sheet margin. The surrounding rows beautifully complete the collection with localized handstruck overprints on low-value kopecks and two scarce high-value large-format 1-Ruble definitive issues displaying bold central tridents. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character, crisp overprint matrices, and no cancellation marks.
Features:
- Set of 28 vintage stamps (highly specialized early independent Ukrainian structural assembly)
- Authentic 1918 Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) original provisional trident overprints
- Layout consists of three major multiple units: two separate blocks of 6 and one quarter block of 4
- Includes 2 scarce large-format 1-Ruble overprinted tsarist base stamps
- Showcases diverse regional variations, alignments, and shapes of the handstruck Trident emblem
- Mint Hinged (MH) condition (unused, clean mint condition with original gum, potential hinge marks, zero postmarks)
The set includes multiple blocks and variations of the following classic denominations:
- 1, 2, 3, 14, 15, 35 kopecks, and 1 ruble.
A magnificent collectible for:
- advanced Ukrainian philately experts and Eastern European regional provisional postal scholars
- worldwide collectors specialized in intact wholesale sheet segments, block formats, and currency overprints
- Ukrainian cultural heritage museums, revolutionary history buffs, and national movement researchers
- investment-grade vintage ephemera and global military/independence archives
The blocks and singles are photographed in clean view so collectors can carefully examine the crispness of the overprints, vertical and horizontal perforation alignments, margins, and paper texture included in the lot.
You will receive the exact collection shown in the photos.

- This is an original vintage philatelic collection over a century old, not a modern reproduction.
- Minor signs of age, natural paper toning, or faint album storage marks may be present due to the historic and wartime nature of the items.
- Carefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with rigid protective materials.
