Ukraine
Trident Overprints
Twelve Russian stamps with Ukrainian TRIDENT overprint.

In 1918, Ukraine declared independence from Russia and issued a set of postage stamps several months later. The low values of the new stamps required their
use in conjunction with Russian stamps already in circulation. The
Ukrainian Ministry of Posts decided that Russian stamps could remain in
circulation as long as they were overprinted with a trident, Ukraine’s
newly adopted national emblem.

Between mid-August and early October 1918, postal districts in Ukraine
added the trident emblem to stamps. The action was both symbolic and
practical, asserting Ukraine’s status as a sovereign nation while
enabling much-needed funds to be directed to the Ukrainian treasury.
With no standardized template, trident overprints varied in color,
shape, and size. These particular characteristics are studied by experts
that classify tridents and trace them to specific postal districts.

This accumulation includes both mint and used stamps, imperforate and perforated.

A 13th stamp is included which we are doubtful about due to the "leak through" shown in the scans of the back. This stamps is on its side rather than upright.

An interesting study group.
