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. |

Scott #20 [1875 6 skilling Posthorn] Used with SUPERB CENTERING and with almost full and well-centered TROMSØ single-ring, 24 mm large circle, town name in serif type, date sans-serif; NK Type 1b) 11 March 1877 proper-period cancellation. The NK Postal II catalog lists the cancellation in the Skilling Posthorn period with a rarity rating of 3, thus harder to find. Because of the larger size of this postmark, it is hard to find so complete and well centered on a single stamp. Wonderful centering, great color, excellent perforations, and a wonderful cancellation -- it would be very hard to find one that is better! ACTUAL item. |

(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. |

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. |
