Nakhchivan

Nakhchivan, or Naxçıvan, is a republic of Azerbaijan. As such, it does not and never has issued its own stamps.

Like for so many other former Russian republics and regions, beginning in the earlier 1990s, old Soviet Union definitives began appearing with bogus surcharges for Nakhchivan. Afterwards, more bogus topical sets and sheetlets followed. They have been found inscribed НАХИЧВАН, NAXCIVAN, NAHCHIVAN. There are likely more variants since more than one counterfeiter/faker has produced these. See what happens when you're greedy and you have too much time on your hands?
