Russia-Transcaucasia (Image of the one I have is attached) I recently got one and I felt that the paper is very soft as if it has been pressed. Just wonder if the the type of paper used is naturally so soft. I would like to hear some of your comments. Of course, the seller confirmed that it has not been pressed. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards Report this Post to the Staff

Also view letterpress,intaglio with a 10x loupe with led light to see if ink has been flattened. Paper should be dull under UV light, If bright has been cleaned.. Hope this helps..
