Scott #21 White Paper, Facit #21a [1873 7 sk Posthorn] Used with F-VF centering and a crisp, VF centered "CHRISTIANIA OMK." (Type 4) 26 May 1875 single-ring RAILWAY cancellation, used in the proper time period. This stamp is hard to find with such complete and well-centered cancellations and hard to find with railway cancellations. An excellent example in very nice quality. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #18, Facit #18b, Carmine on White Paper [1871 3 skilling Posthorn] Used with Fine centering and neat, upright, fully dated 21 June 1877 "(BUREA)U REEXPEDIANT DE CHR(IST)IANIA" single-ring RAILWAY cancellation. A strike from this cancellation device is too large to fit on a single stamp; this is about as good as it can get on a single stamp! In the NK Postal II (2014) this cancellation has a price of NOK 50 on the red 3-skilling value, but examples this nicely struck are hard to find. ACTUAL item. |

21 [1873 7 skilling Posthorn] Used with F-VF centering and with well-centered, nearly full, "(NORD)BANERNES POSTEXP II" later-period RAILWAY cancellation (but still valid for postage). Beautiful example. Railway postmarks are seldom seen on the later-used skilling stamps. Very pretty. ACTUAL item. |

B3 [1930 30 øre Nordkapp semi-postal] Used with Superb centering. Perfectly centered, fresh stamp with VF "RJUKANBANERNE / *" 1934 railway cancellation. The cancel is scarce because the railway line was only 16 kilometers (10 miles) long and ran from the Norsk Hydro HEAVY WATER (needed for nuclear weapons) plant at Vermok, through Rjukan, to Mael. (This plant is famous for its later WWII role: Allied bombing and commando raids, sabotage, and the sinking of the ferry from Mael carrying heavy water on the journey to Germany.) This cancel on this stamp is RARE -- In 1934, this stamp was only being sold at Nordkapp, Oslo main post office, Bergen, Trondheim, Hammerfest, and on board the Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes ships. Uses at other locations are seldom seen since the stamp would have to be brought in by the sender. An outstanding example, interesting in several ways. ACTUAL item. |

B2 [1930 20 + 25 øre Nordkap] Used VF+ with neat (D)OVREBA(NEN) 1930s-type RAILWAY cancellation. This cancel on this stamp is scarce -- from 1930-1931 this stamp was only sold at Nordkap and Oslo, and then through 1935, this stamp was only being sold at a few additional locations: Bergen, Trondheim, Hammerfest, and on board the Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes ships. Uses at other locations, and especially on trains even after 1935, are seldom seen as before 1936 the stamp would have to be brought in by the sender. ACTUAL item. |
