Geometric Provisional Marks

Inked, geometric surcharge imprints directly on postal stationery feature a variety of shapes and styles. Here you have both regional and national, fancy and plain, as well as juxtapositions between Ukrainian and Soviet eras.

Note: On this and on following pages, I've inclued images of some provisional markings that I think may meet the classification system. Any mistakes are purely my own.
