Scott #6b Lilac Brown, Facit #5v3C3 [1866 5 penni Roulette III (1871-1873), ORDINARY (wove) PAPER] Used with Fine centering but overall wonderful appearance. Three teeth partially missing or blunted; couple other teeth with base-tears in them that can only be seen under 10x magnification. Almost complete BRAHESTAD arc-style 10 October 1873 cancellation. This stamp (Scott #6, 6a, 6b) was printed on ordinary paper; in collections often the more common #12 on laid paper is found in its place. Double check which you have in this spot in your album. Remarkably nice looking example of a scarce stamp!

Scott #10 Carmine Rose on Pale Rose Paper, Facit #9v1C3 [1866 40 penni Roulette III, Ordinary Pale Rose Paper] Used with F-VF centering and FULL TEETH. Wonderful appearance, with BLUE, PERFECTLY CENTERED, but faint, WIBORG arc-style cancellation. Wiborg is in the Lost Territories, now located in Russia.
