GADYACH POSTAL FRAUD - STAMP USED TWICE
Zemstvo Gadyach circa 1892 (23 October) - Schmidt 26, 3k yellow orange used twice on an envelope sent from Gadyach to a locality in the district. The stamp was removed from another envelope used the same day (23 October), stuck and struck a second time at a posterior time with a stolen canceller (dated 4 February), the postal clerk pocketting another 3k stamp for himself. Back flap of the envelope partly teared upon opening, otherwise very fine.
There was a massive fraud operation by some official clerks in that district at the end of the 19th century. A canceller device has been fraudulently used over a few years span, canceller from which two different digits are known: "4" (February) and "14" (February).

Very scarce, we have an actual census of 13 postal fraud covers from Gadyach.
