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. |
