What is Perforated 12 mean?  It's the distance of where each and every perforation is measured with a Perforation gauge.  Mind you, something as simple as a perforation 12-15 can be the difference of thousands of dollars.  Below is my example of a perforation gauge.

My perforation gauge is made of clear plastic.  It's easier to utilize than a metal gauge.

I had just paid for this 1945 Russian WWII Complete Set of 9 stamps.  I'm wondering if there are any FSM Forum members that can read and translate Russian.

The stamps came in a little booklet of which I've taken the liberty of photographing.  This set was issued in 1945.  I know that a couple of stamps has a Yak and an Airacobra.  The other aircraft depicted is not known to me.

I used to own these very same and exact set while my residency in Amsterdam, Netherlands.  

Hi,

I only know a very little Russian, but the cover envelope mostl judt say "54 Rubles" and "Three Rubles".  On the other two, with airplanes, I believe the lettering on top "Почта C.C.C.P." mostly means "USSR Post".

The rest of the text for the tp one appears to read "Yakolaev 9 - Intercepter" and 1 Ruble.

The 2nd one appears to say "Petlakov 8", 1 Ruble, and "Heavy Bomber"

So, Mr. Toshi, given your interest in stamps I thought you might be interested in a couple of photos of Jill's, (my wife), stamp and first day cover collection.

Well, there you are mate. I hope you find these interesting. If you have any questions I will be happy to try and answer them. The first day covers came from Jill's dad. He was a great bloke, a Royal Marine in WWII, a fireman on the Flying Scotsman and a postie for the Royal Mail.

Toshi,

Doing a quick Google translate of the 1st and last paragraph in the booklet, it appeas that it might be some sort of "Pension" book.

Here is what I came up with, if I typed it correctly.

"1. неработающим пенсионерам пенсия дoctaвлetcя нa дom предприятиem сбязи зa счeт рoсyдaрствa в устaнoвлeнны для выплaты дeнъ.

 ...

5.The social security departments at the new place of residence, the recipient of the pension must advise he brought and present a document confirming the residence in this area."

The stamps displayed look awesome and the very fine detail in each stamp is painstakingly superb.  Thank you so very much for your time and sharing your philatelic collection!

Yes, I have questions in regards to your stamp collection.  Would you be so kind in taking more photos of your collection?  How long have you've been collecting?  Do you have stamps that, as just an example the very first stamp ever to be produced by Australia?  

How did you start your collection?  By mail order, Internet, trades?  Are you a member of the international philatelic club?  

As for the membership in the stamp club, I just joined the American Philatelist.  Once again sir, thank you very much.

P.S. Here's a photo of my official membership into American Philatelist.

Here are more photos of the complete 1945 Russian military aircraft stamps. You can tell by the looks of this collection of Russian stamps that the photo quality is just not all there.  But as we all know trying or even attempting to run a production of any item in war torn Russia was a great undertaking during WWII.

I would never have guessed in that once I sold my stamp collection in 1995, in order to relocate my family to greater and bigger opportunities in our future that I would be able to restart my hobby of collecting of stamps let alone building kits with my grandson.  Boy, how time truly flies right by you at the speed of light.  

Here is my very modest Topical stamp collection on WWII.  I do know for sure in that I'll be continuously adding stamps that depict WWII subjects.

Hawaiian Sesquicentennial 

 This 2cents Carmine of the Hawaiian Sesquicentennial stamps are overprinted versions of the regular series of 1922-1926.  

They were issued to commemerate the 150th anniversary of the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands in 1788.  They weren't issued outside Hawaii, which was just a territory.

The dark blue 5cent stamp of Rosevelt, this is one of the Hawaiian Sesquincentennial issued.  The first stamp is a 1924 2cent Carmine mint $4.75.  The second stamp is 5cent dark blue mint $20.00.

1927 Scott #649 2cent Carmine International Civil Aeronautics Conference.  Mint $1.50.

This stamp was issued in conjunction with the International Civil Aeronautics Conference held at Washington D.C.  The design shows the aircraft used by the Wright Brothers in the first successful flight of heavier than air, powered aircraft.  1903 flight lasted exactly 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet.

"FARLEY'S FOLLIES"

Starting in 1933, Postmaster General James Farley had sheets of newly produced stamps removed before they were gummed and perforated.  He gave them to stamp collector President Franklin Roosevelt and other high ranking officials.  

Collectors protested that these were specifically made rarities that were not available to the public.  On February 5, 1935, the problem was solved.  All the stamps issued since March 4, 1933, were re-issued in Imperforate , ungummed condition in such quantities as the public required.
