If not forged, those markings indicate stamps with genuine overprints. Sometimes overprints were made years after the stamps were valid with original devices and material from the archives. Leftover stocks from archives were also sold. The soviets were very strict to prevent private initiatives but had no problem with taking money from the capitalists as long as it was channeled through governmental agencies.<\/p>\n<h3>Soviet Philatelic Society<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stampsofarmenia.com\/?attachment_id=2115\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2115\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2115\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stampsofarmenia.com\/?attachment_id=2115\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?fit=332%2C444&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"332,444\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sowietphilassoc1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?fit=332%2C444&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2115\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?resize=233%2C312\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?w=332&amp;ssl=1 332w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc1.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/stampsofarmenia.com\/?attachment_id=2114\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2114\">\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2114\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stampsofarmenia.com\/?attachment_id=2114\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?fit=395%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"395,265\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sowietphilassoc2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?fit=395%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2114\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?resize=253%2C170\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?w=395&amp;ssl=1 395w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stampsofarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/sowietphilassoc2.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Often applied twice.
