J7 Dull Lilac, Facit #L13b, NK #P13b [1922 4 øre Postage Due (1927 printing)] Used with XF centering, with 1929 town cancellation, probably Oslo. This printing /color was made in 1927 but use of postage due stamps ended before these were distributed, however they were sold to collectors. Canceled examples are known -- and are sought after -- but they did not serve postage due use. Examples with 1920s year dates are scarce.
