The book considers postage stamps issued just after World War I in the countries of the Eastern front, the Balkans and the Caucasus, all of which were torn up by the war. Because of the chaos, many of the stamps were crudely printed and were heavily counterfeited. My book covers common stamps of 1918-1923, where common means you can find it on Ebay. I show how to tell the difference between a genuine stamp and a fake one, most of the time so a person can check it on Ebay before buying. The book covers eastern Europe from Russia, Finland, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Hungary plus the Balkans and the Caucasus. Occupied Hungary and Armenia have large sections because of the heavy counterfeiting of both countries and the confusion in all the varieties.
