Scott #25 [1877 10 øre Shaded Posthorn] (F-VF) used locally in CHRISTIANIA with 2-ring-no-bridge cancellation on 19 July 1880 cover. Neat appearance on the album page, but was roughly opened, thus with a tear on the upper left on the front and a larger tear on the backside (not affecting the stamp). Aged on the right side, but still looks quite nice. The stamp is NOT re-engraved, thus this is from Plate I or Plate II; based on the Carmine color, this appears to be from Plate I (Facit #26I, NK #25I). A reasonable example at a very low price for a Norwegian 1880 cover! ACTUAL item. |
