    Imperial Russia stamp booklets for 2 r., issued in 1913 (B9 in the Standard catalogue), both incomplete.

In the second booklet, the 31 remaining stamps are overprinted with Kyiv IIgg single handstamps, inverted in each case. Both booklets are in fine condition, all the stamps unmounted mint. These booklets are believed the only two recorded (Bulat records one copy of his # 547 but the booklet with IIa overprints is unlisted).
