O47 [1920 1 Krona Christian X Official] Used Superb with rare jumbo-sized margins at top and bottom. Neat October 1940 cancellation which is very late use for this stamp. [The last Official stamps were issued in 1936 and use was gradually, almost casually, phased out until officially ended 31 December 1946. However uses after 1939 are unusual.]

O48 [1930 2 kr Christian X Official] and a 9-block of Scott #231 [1945 10 kr Viking, Perf 14] on piece of 28 July 1945 INSURED parcel wrapping from REYKJAVIK to Miklabę. The official stamp and a couple of the 10 kr stamps are damaged, however, the official stamp is rare on any sort of cover (2011 Facit value SEK 9000 on cover) and the 10 kr stamps are also scarce on cover (2011 Facit SEK 1200). Even the pink "V" insured label is seldom seen. Furthermore, it is extremely rare to find a cover or piece bearing any combination of official and regular stamps. If this were a full cover, or at least a full parcel wrapping, it would easily sell for more than $2000, however, I very much doubt that such an item exists. As it is, it is attractive and rare -- probably unique.
