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.

Scott #B2 [1930 20+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with Average centering (perforations cut the design), but with a Superbly centered, though lightly struck, BØN 2-ring 24 January 1939 small-town cancellation. By 1939 these stamps were for sale in more post offices, but still had very limited distribution. Most small-town uses of these early Nordkap stamps resulted from the stamps being obtained elsewhere and brought to that location. I do not recall ever (in 52 years) having had an example of this BØN cancellation on any stamp; and especially not on a Nordkap stamp (I do watch carefully for such items). Despite the poor centering, this is a remarkably unusual item!

Scott #B3 [1930 30+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with XF centering and with a Superbly centered and very well struck RENA 2-ring 30 June 1930 small-town cancellation. This set was issued on either 25 (Facit) or 28 (NK) June 1930, thus this is an extremely early use. But even more importantly, before 1932 the stamps were only sold (per NK) at Nordkap and in Oslo. This stamp would have had to have been brought to this small town of Rena, which is located in the center (east-west) of the country, north of Oslo and Hamar. This is certainly one of the earliest -- if not the earliest -- small-town uses of any of the three 1930 Nordkap stamps that I have had in 52 years. An outstanding item of exceptional quality and rarity!

Scott #B24 [1941 20+80 øre Norwegian Legion Semi-Postal] NEVER HINGED with SUPERB centering. Wonderfully fresh, with "perfect" centering, bright color, "perfect" perforations, and correct never hinged original gum. While this is a fairly "modern" stamp, it can be hard to find examples that have VF or better centering. Centering as nice as this example is quite hard to find. The Norwegian Legion (June 1941 - March 1943) was a force of approximately 1900 (total, over time) pro-Nazi Norwegians volunteers who had been promised to be commanded by Norwegian officers and to fight in Finland against Russia (as Norwegian volunteers had done during the 1939-1940 Winter War between Finland and Russia). Instead, the force was sent to the Eastern Front and participated in the Siege of Leningrad, and was commanded mostly by German officers. The stamp pictures a Norwegian Legion soldier along with the Norwegian and Finnish flags. This is a key Norwegian stamp from the WWII era and is missing from many collections.

Scott #B24 [1941 20+80 øre Norwegian Legion Semi-Postal] Used with VF centering and a neat partial "T.HE(IM)" (Trondheim) 26 August (19)4x MINIATURE (or THIMBLE) cancellation. Other than the decade digit of "4", the year date is not showing. I cannot guarantee in which 1940s year this cancellation was struck, but it is NOT a typical type of philatelic or late-use cancellation. In 53 years, I have never had an example of this style of cancellation (from any town) on this stamp and I have only had less then ten of this style of cancellation (from any town) on any semi-postal stamp.There were several offices in Trondheim where this style of postmark was used, in a few different type -- this example does not show enough of the postmark to determine the office or type -- however, most are so scarce that actual date ranges of known use have not been fully recorded beyond the manufacturing date. However, some offices and types of the Trondheim miniature postmarks HAVE BEEN recorded as used during the normal period of validity of this stamp (1 Aug 1941 thru 14 May 1945). Though often called "thimble" postmarks -- because the size of the impression is small enough that it can be imagined to be a thimble-mounted device -- the more correct name is "miniature" postmark; they were hand operated devices, not finger-operated devices. These postmarks were specifically designed for use on multi-line postal forms, small postal receipts, etc., where there was very limited space for a dated postmark. The regulations specifically stated that this type of postmark was NOT to be struck as a normal cancellation on postage stamps. However, it is said that may have been occasionally used in accounting functions to void stamps. Postal forms bearing this type of postmark are very seldom seen. The examples of uses as postmarks or cancellations on covers that I have seen have mostly been as a: 1) cancellation on postage that was added to a cover (after original mailing, as part of a postage collection process) to make up the total correct amount of postage needed; 2) to cancel accidentally uncanceled stamps (sometimes called "skips") on covers; c) and as an accounting or processing postmark on parcel cards, money orders, COD cards, etc., usually not on a stamp. Examples of miniature cancellations struck on stamps (or on any other objects) are "quite scarce" but represent a fascinating and very under-appreciated area of Norwegian postmark collecting. The vast majority of genuinely canceled examples of this stamp seen in the marketplace bear a partial official first day postmark (having been soaked off a first day cover). Most other canceled examples of single #B24 stamps do not show a full year date and thus have to be assumed to have philatelic or late-use cancellations. This is a key Norwegian stamp from the WWII era and is missing from many collections. Scott 2026 Used value is $100, but this is an exceptional example, "rare" with this style of cancellation.

Scott #B24 [1941 20+80 øre Norwegian Legion Semi-Postal] Used with VF centering and a neat partial cancellation "O...." (correct spacing for OSLO) and with partial date 18 December (year not showing). Even though the year date is not showing, this example shows all the expected characteristics of a genuine used-in-period cancellation. The majority of genuinely canceled examples of this stamp seen in the marketplace either bear a partial official first day postmark (having been soaked off a first day cover). Most other (non-FD) canceled examples of single #B24 stamps that are seen in the marketplace do not show a full year date and thus have to be assumed to have philatelic or late-use or incorrect cancellations. This is a key Norwegian stamp from the WWII era and is missing from many collections. Scott 2026 Used value is $100 (which is much too low for a genuinely used non-FD cancellation). My price is low because this example lacks the year date, but I am confident that this was canceled in the correct time period. The Norwegian Legion (June 1941 - March 1943) was a force of approximately 1900 (total, over time) pro-Nazi Norwegians volunteers who had been promised to be commanded by Norwegian officers and to fight in Finland against Russia (as Norwegian volunteers had done during the 1939-1940 Winter War between Finland and Russia). Instead, the force was sent to the Eastern Front and participated in the Siege of Leningrad, and was commanded mostly by German officers. The stamp pictures a Norwegian Legion soldier along with the Norwegian and Finnish flags.

Scott #B24 [1941 20+80 øre Norwegian Legion Semi-Postal] Used with VF centering with partial First Day Cancellation (can be determined from the style of the cancel). The majority of genuinely canceled examples of this stamp seen in the marketplace bear a partial official first day postmark like this (having been soaked off a first day cover). Most other (non-FD) canceled examples of single #B24 stamps that are seen in the marketplace do not show a full year date and thus have to be assumed to have philatelic or late-use or incorrect cancellations. This is a key Norwegian stamp from the WWII era and is missing from many collections. Scott 2026 Used value is $100 (which is correct for the FD cancellation). An pretty example.

Essay design similar to and related to Scott #B24 [1941 Norwegian Legion semi-postal] ca. 1941 ESSAY by Harald Damsleth (who was also the artist of the issued Scott #B24) for the "Norwegian Legion" semi-postal issue. Design in horizontal format; cliche 32 x 17 mm, in orange red, on gummed 105 x 90 mm paper. Original drawing is in the Norwegian Postal Museum. Very seldom offered and in extremely strong demand from collectors of WWII-era and Germany-Occupied Countries material. [The Norwegian Legion was formed by Nazi sympathizers to fight alongside the Nazis against the Allied forces. Originally expected to have a more "glorious" role in Northern and Western Europe, the Legion ended up on the Eastern Front where they suffered greatly. This essay has always been scarce, but I suspect that many people in Norway would rather forget this chapter of Norwegian history, thus they are very seldom offered or displayed.]
