Zemstvo Issues
These are the Zemstvo Districts for which I have stocks large enough for Wants Lists to have a fair chance of success. A red asterisk, *, means the stock is mainly or entirely ex-Faberge; a black letter C means that postal history material is also available. As you will see from this List, I have since 1999 acquired intact or remainder Faberge collections from nearly 40 Districts. I am still trying to get more: please contact me if you have a Faberge collection for sale!

I do have Zemstvo stamps from other Districts, generally the more common ones like Bogorodsk, but the stocks are far from comprehensive. You can always try...
I have Zemstvo Medical Fiscals for Dankov, Glazov, Kotelnich, Viatka
I have very little Proof material, but do have some errors and varieties (such as imperf between, double perf, colour shifts...). I have a handful of forgeries, most of them the 1920s-30s fake 'Proofs' made in Russia and easily recognisable because they all look alike with 'PROBA' and such like handstamped nonsense on the back.
