Scott #O5 [1926 30 øre Official First Issue] PLATE VARIETY: "Bottom inner frame split (and repaired?) below Ø of ØRE". Used with XF centering and very light cancellation. The previous owner, who was a very advanced lifetime Scandinavian specialist, marked in his album that this was "Retouch #59" (assuming plate position 59). His description suggests that there was even greater plate damage and this was the repaired state. I have never before seen this reference and I have never before seen an example of this variety -- thus it is certainly not a common position/variety. Quite a dramatic variety; I am surprised it is not listed in any of the specialized catalogs that I have seen. This category of variety is usually very highly valued on Norwegian stamps.

Scott #O6 Ultramarine [1926 40 øre Official First Issue] PLATE VARIETY: "Right third of top frame line much thinner". Used with XF centering and very light cancellation. The previous owner, who was a very advanced lifetime Scandinavian specialist, marked in his album that this was "FT5" (perhaps frame type 5??), but I have never before seen this reference and I have never before seen an example of this variety -- thus it is certainly not a common position/variety. Quite a dramatic variety; I am surprised it is not listed in any of the specialized catalogs that I have seen.

Scott #O8 Lilac [1926 2 on 5 øre Surcharged Official First Issue] NEVER HINGED with F-VF centering, but with a crease. MAJOR PLATE VARIETY: "Top line of final E of ERKE continues into unprinted area inside the frameline." On normal stamps, the top of the final E is surrounded by color. However, in the variety, there is no color at the right end of the top line of the E. My recollection is that this variety was listed and documented in earlier editions of Norgeskatalogen, but somewhere along the line, the listing disappeared. This is a SCARCE and well-known variety that should be listed in the specialized catalogs! It is very rarely offered which suggests that the printers may have discovered the problem and repaired the plate at some point. It has probably been 20 years since I was last able to offer an example!
