Postal Savings "fiscal" cancellation: "(Landsfoged)en i Nordgrønla(nd)" crown and straight-line in violet (Wowern "purple") VF strike on Scott #Q6 [20 øre Pakke-Porto, Perforation 11.5] Used with XF centering, with a full additional blue crayon "X" cancellation. Single strike of this large postmark, excellent to the extent that it can fit on a single stamp. Listed by Wowern in GF1 1988 on page 60. While not a numbered "Avane" cancellation, this served the same purpose and was mostly only used for the savings system. Wowern noted that the additional blue lines are typical with this cancellation. The Wowern 1988 value for this cancellation is 300, double the value of the most common Avane numeral cancellations. This cancellation is not often seen, and when it is seen, it is usually only a partial strike such as this one. An very nice example!

Avane #36 (Tugssak) in either black or light-violet-black, only Fine strike but the "36" is quite clear. Though light, is almost perfectly centered postal savings cancel on Scott #Q8a [1930 1 kr Pakke-Porto, Perforation 11.5] with F-VF centering. Additional blue crayon line as often seen in the savings books. The stamp has Wowern-listed "Ha" PLATE VARIETY: "italicized E in PAKKE" from sheet position 7. While this Avane number is not "rare", it is a little scarcer than some others, and it is much less often seen on the 1 kr stamp! This example is the only one I have recorded having with this cancellation color.

Scott #Q11 [1937 1 krone Redrawn Design, Lithographed, Perf 11] Used with Superb centering. Violet circular date cancel (date not showing). While this cannot be proven to be proper postal use (and not canceled to order), this example is as close as I have seen in many years to be properly postally used. This cancellation is seldom seen in violet (Wowern notes a value of 300 instead of 100 for black). If violet was in use for canceled to order examples, I would expect to see many more of them. An outstanding example!
