Is this stamp of Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic forged ?
The Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic was formed in 1922, lasting through 1924, when Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia combined forming the Transcaucasian SSR. The Azerbaijan SSR issued stamps from 1922-1924.

The 1922 stamps had a set of 13 stamps. One of the stamps I have in my collection seems like a forged one though many forged items of the Old Russian issues are heard.
Two Moussavat issue stamps of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1919)
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was born from Russia after the end of Russian Revolution in 1917. In 1919 a set of 10 stamps now popularly called ‘Moussavat issue’ was issued in thin paper. Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed independent on 28th May in 1918 and was overthrown on 28th April, 1920 by armies of 11 Red Army Bolshevik of Russia which occupied the young Republic.
Azerbaijan was proclaimed the Soviet Socialist Republic and in 1920 was included in consisting of Caucasian Federation of USSR. After the collapse of Azerbaijan's fledgling Republic in 1920 the printing presses felt silent. The new government reissued of same stamp sets of 1919 but in thick paper.
In my collection, I have two stamps of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and both are in thin papers.
