Facit #FK1(F4) 10 Kopek Porto Stempel in Carmine. Official 1881 "Stamp Print" (meaning that it was only printed in this size, not as a full envelope) Reprint. Large margins all around, on ungummed white paper. VF, but a couple small black marks of unknown origin. The item of which this is a reprint is major rarity. Despite the modest SEK 400 catalog value in Facit 2011, this is very scarce. ACTUAL item. |

Facit #FK2(F4) 20 Kopek Porto Stempel in Black. Official 1881 "Stamp Print" (meaning that it was only printed in this size, not as a full envelope) Reprint. Superb with large margins all around, on ungummed white paper. The item of which this is a reprint is major rarity. Despite the modest SEK 400 catalog value in Facit 2011, this is very scarce; I have probably only had two or three examples in 38 years. ACTUAL item. |

Facit #FK5(F4) 20 Kopek Oval in Black. Official 1881 "Stamp Print" (meaning that it was only printed in this size, not as a full envelope) Reprint. Superb, with huge margins top and bottom, but narrow margins at sides (correct and true of all the 1881 Stamp Prints of the Ovals), on ungummed white paper. The item of which this is a reprint is the greatest philatelic rarity of Finland with only two examples known. Despite the modest SEK 400 catalog value in Facit 2011, I believe that this is only the second example that I have had in 38 years! ACTUAL item. |
