I'd love to see your other examples, please, obviously as your time permits. These booklets are indeed quite unique, and hard to come by. Perhaps you might be willing to start your own topic with an exposition of your marvelous collection?

Can one of our Russian speaking members please tell me the full name on this Defense of Leningrad document. The most I can decipher is "Rozalie", perhaps?

Here's an example that has been re-homed with a modern suspension. I may put an old steel or brass kolodka on it later.

Here the early variation with the "short horizon". Is it true, that this type was stamped in Leningrad during the siege?

Some were stamped with serial numbers/letters but as to exactly why, who, where and when is up to great speculation.

Jens,
Not only the "short horizon" variation was struck at the Leningrad mint during the siege of the city.
