Norway: Booklets: Perfin Booklets

I have an extensive stock of all types and eras of Norwegian booklets, but they are not yet listed here. Please send your want list or let me know of your interests. The most recent specialized cataloging of Norwegian booklets is the current edition of the Norgeskatalogen [NK] (available; please inquire). The Facit Catalog also lists Norwegian booklets, but not in a specialized manner. I am able to fill want lists using the numbers of any of these catalogs. All booklets are NH, VF, complete and fresh, unless described otherwise.

NF Perfin Booklets	Top
Starting in 1997, the Norwegian Philatelic Federation (Norsk Filatelistforbund) began offering one perfined booklet per year, the Christmas issue, with perfin "NF" and the year, thus such as "NF 97". The perfin was done through the naturally folded booklet in two steps; the top row through the front cover and the bottom row through the back cover. Though that may be hard to picture, this results in all four, of the two different alternating stamp designs in these booklets, each having a different perfin postion (upright, inverted, upright reversed, inverted reversed) -- quite a clever method. These were made for collectors, but they are real perfins and the stamps were/are still just as valid for postage (and do exist on covers). These particular booklets were self-adhesives and are subject to the varying condition problems that can occur for each particular year (1998 always shows discoloration around the die-cutting). These booklets, just as the normal versions, exist with and without serial number in the selvage. If the particular year or version you are seeking is not listed, please let me know; I may have it in stock. I also have all the normal non-perfin booklets in stock.

Scott #1178-9 Complete Booklet, NK #FH100x, Facit #H100a (non-fluorescent) with "NF 97" perfins. Without serial number. NH VF+ with unusually good centering for this issue and without any self-adhesive problems. Quite scarce this nice. This was the first year of such perfins. The normal version of this booklet is becoming quite hard to find in nice quality (to say nothing of this perfined version).
