423, 430, 463 All Fluorescent [1967 and 1968 Rock Carvings: 40 dark carmine, 90 blue, 40 øre greenish blue] (VF) on attractive 15 September 1974 cover mailed aboard the M/S NORDNORGE and signed by the ship captain, canceled with the SVALBARDRUTA (Svalbard Route) pictorial ship cancellation, sent to the U.S. Because this route ran from mainland Norway to Svalbard (Spitzbergen), we can reasonably assume that this cover did enter Svalbard / Spitzbergen waters, but that it was not landed or sent from there. Very attractive and colorful franking all with values from the same popular / topical (marine mammals, fish, animals, early people, archeology) definitive design. ACTUAL item. |
