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 and savings bases modified locally with early Ukrainian National Trident (Tryzub) overprints. The collection features two distinct and highly sought-after multi-stamp formats: one clean 50-Kopeck quarter block of 4 stamps preserving its wide intact bottom sheet margin, and an exceptional large 8-stamp double quarter block segment (4x2 layout) of the 1-Kopeck value bearing bold black tridents. The layout is further enhanced by a horizontal strip of 3 stamps (14-Kopeck value) and a comprehensive study of low and mid-denomination singles showing various handstruck regional trident matrices. One lower copy bears an authentic period postal cancellation, while the rest beautifully preserve Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
Features:
- Set of 31 vintage stamps
- Authentic 1918 Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) original provisional trident overprints
- Layout consists of major multiple units: one block of 8, one quarter block of 4, and a strip of 3
- Features a vast array of regional Trident (Tryzub) overprint variations, alignments, and shapes
- Mint Hinged (MH) condition with select pieces showing historical cancellation marks / postmarks / surcharges
The set includes multiple blocks and variations of the following classic denominations:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 20, 50, and 70 kopecks.
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.
