hi. rjan, tuskenraider, michael78651. thank you for the fast response. ican now cheack in scott catalogue. I have so much enjoyment from this site, thank you all. regards ken.
It's SG 303, issued December 1922, when the country was known as the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic (R.S.F.S.R - which are the initials at the top of the stamp). However, as pointed out, the margins seem wide, so it might be a cut-out.

That is correct, but the letters are using the Cyrillic alphabet so the key to those of us limited to the Roman alphabet are what looks like "ccp" or "cccp."
