A compelling historical collection of vintage postage stamps from the early Soviet era, spanning the crucial transitional years of the RSFSR and early USSR (1922–1923).
This philatelic set features iconic early definitive designs based on the legendary sculptures of Ivan Shadr, depicting the Worker, Peasant, and Red Army Soldier. The collection is notable for its excellent variety, including a vertical pair/couple from the gold currency standard series, alongside classic imperial stamps overprinted with the Soviet five-pointed star and new denominations. A significant portion of the stamps bear authentic period postmarks and cancellation marks, while preserving Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
