Documentary Revenue Stamps mini collection of 29 used stamps from the 1900-1925 era (showing cancellations 1902-1923). All different and including quite a few medium and scarce values, with catalog values as high as $50 (12 kr stamp). Condition generally better than often seen and all the scarcer stamps appear to be in sound condition. This is most definitely NOT an accumulation of the cheapest low values. Several of these stamps I have never been able to offer before.

Documentary Revenue Stamp #ST-8 Type 2 (Wang 2007 number) [1886-1923 16 kr, Crown Watermark, wide spacing] Used VF with neat cancellation. Wang states "This is the most difficult stamp to obtain from this first series." Wang states usage at least through 1923, but that the latest cancellation he recorded (as of 2007) was 1917 -- this example is canceled in 1923. I believe the 16 kr stamp to be undervalued in Wang -- I have only had two or three examples, including this one, in 37 years.

1983 Edvard Grieg Europa Test Stamp design printed in 1986 by Norges Bank Seddeltrykkeri (Norwegian Banknote Printing Company) as a test and demonstration of new printing equipment. The design was apparently not first "discovered" by philatelists until 1997. These are true test stamps, intended for internal purposes and were never officially made available to the public. These test stamps are rare and of interest to collectors of test stamps, composers and music, and Europa. The engraved design is taken from the 1983 EUROPA issue and pictures composer Edvard Grieg; with the country name, text, and denomination cut out. Normally with a "PROVE" underprint, but printed in such a way that the foreground and underprint only line up well at the horizontal center of the sheet. Red Engraved Foreground with Blue and Yellow "PROVE" lithographed Underprint. Spectacular 4-BLOCK from the center of the sheet, showing one of the PROVE-ONLY STAMPS (i.e. without foreground). [Another three PROVE stamps were originally to the left and below this one.] Payments can be arranged.
