Denmark 1965-1967 50 øre (print edition "84" issued in 1965 or 1966) POSTAL STATIONERY ENVELOPE USED IN THE FAROES. VF condition with VESTM(ANHAVN) (date not clear) Faroe cancellation, used to a pharmacy in Thorshavn. This is undoubtedly used in the Faroes and is part of a large cache of correspondence to this pharmacy that came to the market in the (1990s?). Covers bearing stamps from this time period and this correspondence are "common", however, POSTAL STATIONERY USED IN THE FAROES IS SURPRISINGLY SCARCE! I have had less than five postal stationery envelopes used from the Faroes in the post-WWII era through 1967 when production of Danish postal stationery envelopes were discontinued.

1946 Tarp-Esbjerg Internment Camp Stamps. Canceled VF complete set of all four types (solid vs braided outer frame; lower left corner ornaments point in different directions within a frame type). Imperforate as always, with ample to huge margins, including some margins on each stamp showing the dotted cutting lines. The cancellations are matching; they are indistinct and may not be correct (or they may be camp-applied cancels) -- I have previously seen this cancellation type on loose stamps, but I do not recall seeing this cancellation type on covers. Canceled examples (or uses on covers) are seldom found. This is the only canceled set of all four types that I can recall having in 50 years.

Scott #355, 356, 357 AFA Type I pair; AFA #361, 362, 363a [20 October 1955 5 øre overprints on 6 øre orange and 7 øre brown Wavy-Lines; and 30 øre overprint on 20 øre red King Frederik IX] (VF) on handstamped-cacheted FDC canceled at TØLLØSE, sent to CANADA. The extra 30 øre was necessary to get up to the 60 øre required for the international letter rate. This definitive issue did not have an official FD release or special cancellation. Only carefully-watching and quick-acting philatelists were able to make FDCs! This date is listed as the first day by AFA in their "unofficial first day cover" listing. Generic cachet (since there was no time to prepare special cachets) with neatly typed address (such FDCs are very scarce in unaddressed condition). Fairly scarce: AFA 2023 value DKK 350 (approx $52 7/2024). Canada is a surprisingly scarce destination for such FDCs.

This definitive issue did not have an official FD release or special cancellation. Only careful observers were able to make FDCs! This date is listed as the first day by AFA in their "unofficial first day cover" listing. Generic cachet (since there was no time to prepare special cachets) with lightly pencilled address (such covers are very scarce in unaddressed condition). Fairly scarce!

Scott #26 COLOR PROOF Gray and Ultramarine [1875 4 øre Bicolor, Normal Frame]. VF centering and wonderful quality, with full margins as printed. Color proof on stamp-like paper, but imperforate and without watermark or gum (all these color proofs were ungummed). Accompanied by a Lasse Nielsen (the acknowledged premier expert on the Bicolors) 1987 color photo certificate which translates to "Proof print of 4 øre ultramarine / gray with normal frame, in same color shade as was used for the first printing of the 4 øre. Without watermark. Imperforate and without gum. Genuine and without repairs. A very good example." This is not a "plate" proof because the top and bottom margins are huge, demonstrating that this was not printed as part of a normal sheet. AFA Specialized Catalog 2016 [most recent edition] #P23Aa/b [AFA does not explain their intended difference between a and b]. P23A proofs were printed in a horizontal strip of 10; the left-most stamp with Frame Type 2 with Matrix Flaw 2B, and the other nine stamps with Frame Type 3. Frame Types 2 and 3 can be hard to distinguish (depending upon the impression strength); Nielsen did not state which this is. This does not have Matrix Flaw 2B, thus is Frame Type 3. The AFA Specialized 2016 [most recent] value is DKK 3000 (4/2024 about $450). These early proofs are much scarcer than even that catalog value suggests. An outstanding example that would be an important addition to a collection of the early øre Bicolors. From the J.A. Farrington collection.

1968 Slania-engraved Grundtvig Cathedral test stamp. "Normal" color combination: Light Green Tree, Brown Cathedral, Blue Sky. Non-Fluorescent Paper. NH VF / F-VF FULL SHEET with plate number "F 312" at top and "H 224" at bottom. The centering always varies in these stamps; it can be seen from this sheet that the positioning of the perforation rows and columns does not quite correspond to the spacing of the stamp designs on the printing plate. [I do not know the reason for the two different plate numbers on the same sheet unless the reason is that the "F" number was intentionally included and that the "H" number was simply left in place from a previous printing plate set-up. "H" numbers were traditionally used for printing special-format booklet-making sheets and were not normally seen by the public. "F" could be the abbreviation for "Forsøg" (verb: test; noun: try, trial, attempt, experiment).] Full sheets of Danish test stamps are rarely seen and to my knowledge they were not normally released or sold in sheets. An important item for a Slania-engraved collection or a Danish test stamp collection. Individual examples of this stamp sell for $26 EACH (thus $1300 for 50 stamps!). This is priced very low due to its esoteric nature, but it is much more rare than my price suggests. This is only the second example of such a sheet that I have been able to offer in 50 years!

1958 "Butterflies" 25 øre ULTRAMARINE Ferie (Vacation) Savings Stamp. NEVER HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR with VF centering. The upper left stamp has a bend and the lower right stamp has some blunted perforations. However, the other two stamps are VF-XF or XF! This design is sought by topical collectors. As of 26 December 2023, in 50 years I had only recorded having 10 single examples (1 NH VF, 1 NH F-VF, 1 Mint VF, 2 Mint F-VF, and 5 Mint with small faults) and this 4-block of this 25 øre stamp. In my experience, blocks of any of the Ferie stamps are at least "very scarce". This is the only example of ANY Ferie stamp that I have been able to offer in a block in 50 years! Priced at only the break-up value of the four stamps, taking into account the two stamps with small problems. An outstanding item that would be a highlight of a Butterfly stamp collection or a Danish Ferie stamp collection.

Semi-Official Airmail Stamp: 1918 5 Kr "DANSK LUFTBEFORDRING KØBENHAVN - SKAGEN" picturing bi-plane with Danish flags and map of Denmark with route of the flight. Very attractive design! In the book by Lüning, "The History of Airmail in Scandinavia", the author states that most of the stamps were sold for [the benefit of] charity and were canceled..." This is such an example, from a block of four that had fallen apart, canceled "BØRNESHJÆLPSDAGEN / KØBENHAVN / 14 MAJ 1920" [Childrens Help Day / Copenhagen / 14 May 1920], still with gum. Despite the comment that "most" of the stamps were canceled in such a manner, they are actually very seldom seen -- I have seen ten times as many Mint examples! This is only the second or third time in 49 years that I have been able to offer canceled examples (all have had a charity cancel) of this beautiful semi-official airmail stamp. [Mint Hinged examples quickly sell for $65-70 each!] Canceled with VF centering.

Boom #3.122L Type I, Facit #H39 Variety, AFA #2kr-32 Variety NEVER FOLDED BOOKLET COVER PRINTING ERROR. Almost all Danish booklets have an "edition" number (the equivalent of a plate number for booklet covers) printed on the booklet cover. This 1963 booklet cover was supposed to be printed with "H 122 L", however it was accidentally printed as "H 121 L". To correct this, rather than discard the covers, the second "1" was overprinted with a "2". (Then more covers were correctly printed with "122".) This is an unfolded booklet cover -- never made into a booklet. In perfect condition (NH XF). Complete, fully made, booklets do exist both ways, but the overprinted version is very hard to find. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only example of a Danish printing error of this nature. Also, I cannot recall ever seeing or having any other Danish booklet covers that were unfolded / never made into booklets. The Boom "Denmark Stamp Booklets Catalogue" (final edition/printing 1977 -- quite hard to find) does list the complete and fully-made booklets, but NO catalog or reference (that I have seen) mentions or lists this UNFOLDED booklet cover that was never made into a booklet. A wonderful and extremely scarce item to accent a Danish / booklet collection!

Danish 1923 official national Christmas Seal. Design with Faroe theme: Faroese provincial coat of arms at the time; scene of 10 rowers rowing an ocean-going rowboat by the name of THORSHAVN, with background of dramatic islands. The rowboat appears to represent the boats that were used for the "skyds system" of mail delivery and transportation of governmental and church officials. Mint, lightly hinged with Superb centering.

Boom #1.7 VARIETY 2, Facit #H6 variety, AFA #HD1y variety, MOUNTED BY TOP MARGINS (UPRIGHT) [1929 semi-postal Cancer; contains panes Scott #B3a 2x VF/F-VF; B4a x2 VF/F-VF; B5a XF-Superb] NH VF complete booklet in excellent quality. As usual, the gum of the panes is slightly aged from being against the interleaving, but that is completely typical. Interestingly, neither AFA nor Facit list even mention that this booklet exists mounted by top vs bottom margins; while the quantities produced were probably about equal (and Boom prices them equally), in my experience, the type mounted by bottom margins is less often seen. The blue 25 øre pane includes the AFA-listed plate variety "white spot in bend of snake" (AFA #180y; as a single NH stamp AFA value is DKK 900!). Both Boom and AFA list and price the booklet with this plate variety; AFA Specialized 2016 (most recent edition) DKK 2000 (approx US$300 6/2023). [Both the AFA #180x and #180y plate varieties exist only in the top row of the sheet, in positions 4 and 6 respectively, thus in booklets is only found in top-margin-mounted booklets.] An attractive example with the gold on dark red leather-like cover -- certainly an unusual production for a stamp booklet in 1929! Excellent with wonderful centering of the scarcest pane -- that also includes the variety!

1985 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. JSA #"1985-B" NEW DISCOVERY as of August 2021 -- ONLY THE SECOND FULL-COLOR VARIATION (different from the issued stamp) OF THE 1985 DESIGN / PRINTING THAT I HAVE RECORDED. After the 1980 printings, the die and plate were apparently lost or destroyed, thus a completely new engraving had to be made. There are many design differences between the original 1980 engraving and the 1985 engraving; this is the 1985 engraving. This previously unrecorded variety is probably a "real" test stamp, that was actually used for testing, from the 1985 engraving (it is different from the large quantity specially printed for distribution to collectors). Initially, it appears similar to both the previously known "1985-A" variety and the issued 1985 stamp. As with the "1985-A" variety, the colors are less vibrant, with much lighter yellow, but on "1985-B" the "PRØVE" is printed in blue, magenta, and yellow (not only blue as on "1985-A"). This variety is printed on off-white paper (as is "1985-A"), BUT WITH BLUISH-WHITE FLUORESCENCE (instead of either the bright yellowish-white fluorescence of "1985-A" or the bright white paper with very strong dark yellow fluorescence of the issued stamp). As with the issued 1985 stamps and all known 1985 variations, the "PRØVE" is NOT engraved. This is only the second full-color 1985 variation that I have recorded with a paper or color difference. I first discovered this variation in August 2021, 36 years after the stamps were printed. This stamp is RARE; I have only recorded two examples. (More examples may yet be discovered.) This example was found in a small group of stamps that I am told came directly from a family member of a retired employee of the printing press manufacturer. NH VF single. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this stamp; this variation of the 1985 engraving was not discovered until 36 years after it was printed!

1985 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. ENGRAVED ONLY, IN BLACK. JSA #"1985-Z" NEW DISCOVERY as of August 2021 -- THE FIRST AND ONLY SINGLE-COLOR, ENGRAVED-PRINTING-ONLY VERSION OF THE 1985 DESIGN / PRINTING THAT I HAVE RECORDED. After the 1980 printings, the die and plate were apparently lost or destroyed, thus a completely new engraving had to be made. There are many design differences between the original 1980 engraving and the 1985 engraving; this is the 1985 engraving. This previously unrecorded variety is probably a "real" test stamp, that was actually used for testing, from the 1985 engraving (it is different from the large quantity specially printed for distribution to collectors). While single-color and multiple-color engraved-only versions of the 1980 design are known and available, this is the first and only example of such a 1985 design stamp that I have ever seen or heard of. This variety is printed on off-white paper (as are the other 1985 varieties other than the issued stamp), but WITH BLUISH-WHITE FLUORESCENCE (as has the "1985-B" variety, but unlike either the bright yellowish-white fluorescence of "1985-A" variety or the bright white paper with very strong dark yellow fluorescence of the issued stamp). The "PRØVE" text is not present because it was not part of the engraved portion of the 1985 design. I discovered this example in August 2021, 36 years after the stamps were printed. This stamp is RARE; I have only recorded two examples. (More examples may yet be discovered.) This example was found in a small group of stamps that I am told came directly from a family member of a retired employee of the printing press manufacturer. NH VF single. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this stamp; this variation of the 1985 engraving was not discovered until 36 years after it was printed!

1985 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. COMPLETE DESIGN OFFSET-PRINTED ONLY (INCLUDING THE USUALLY-ENGRAVED PORTIONS). JSA #"1985-offset-A". A SPECTACULAR AND COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED NEW DISCOVERY as of August 2021 -- THE FIRST AND ONLY EXAMPLE OF THE COMPLETE 1985 DESIGN / PRINTING, PRINTED ONLY BY OFFSET / LITHOGRAPHY, THAT I HAVE RECORDED. After the 1980 printings, the die and plate were apparently lost or destroyed, thus a completely new engraving had to be made. There are many design differences between the original 1980 engraving and the 1985 engraving, both had major parts of the design engraved. This example has offset printing of the colored areas as usual for the 1985 design, but the black portions (frame line, many parts of the design, the date, and the Slania name) have also all been printed in black by offset press (lithography), without half-toning. Examination under high magnification indicates that an offset (lithographic) plate was made from by photographing an engraved-printed (i.e. "recess" printed) impression of only the engraved portions of the design. This might explain the existence of black-only (other colors exist as well) engraved-only-portions versions of the stamp. Extremely small design details from the engraved version are faithfully represented in this offset-printed version. The rest of the usual colored offset-printed areas of the design are printed as normal, using the full CMY(K) half-tone process (with only cyan [blue], magenta, yellow, and NOT K/black because the black is printed by a non-halftone plate, as normal, but normally an engraved plate). The colors of this stamp are more muted than the issued stamp, less green and blue, with more yellowish-green areas. This type of printing is very complex and required the use of an engraved-portions-only die print to create the offset-press black plate. This is NOT a "reproduction" and it is certainly not a forgery. This is a very real test of what the stamp would have actually looked like if it was entirely printed by offset press (which would have been cheaper than if the black plate was engraved). All these tests were carried out by the manufacturer of the printing press and thus they would have wanted to show the post office what level of quality could be produced by starting with an engraved die, using a print from the engraved die as the image source for an offset-printed stamp. The result of this test is quite good, but the black printing is not as fine, crisp, delicate, or dark as the normal engraved versions. This is a previously unrecorded type of very "real" test stamp, that was actually used for testing, from the 1985 engraving. This version is printed on off-white paper (as are the other 1985 varieties, other than the issued stamp), but WITH BLUISH-WHITE FLUORESCENCE (as has the "1985-B" variety, but unlike either the bright yellowish-white fluorescence of the "1985-A" variety or the bright white paper with very strong dark yellow fluorescence of the issued stamp). I discovered this example in August 2021, 36 years after the stamps were printed. This stamp is RARE; I have only recorded a single example. (More examples may yet be discovered.) This example was found in a small group of stamps that I am told came directly from a family member of a retired employee of the printing press manufacturer. NH VF single. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this stamp -- a completely new type or version of this famous test stamp! [Price Protection Guarantee: If more examples of this variety are discovered and if thus my price for similar examples declines to the level of other major varieties that I offer, I will refund the difference in price upon request. Guarantee valid for the lifetime of Jay Smith.]

1980 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. JSA Color "W": BLACK COMPLETE ENGRAVED DESIGN, including in the PRØVE, WITHOUT ANY OFFSET-PRINTED COLOR. THE ORIGINAL ENGRAVING with much greater detail and "PRØVE" engraved. This is a completely different Slania engraving from the commonly seen 1985 DFF multi-colored printing. Distinctly cream-colored paper with white fluorescence, invisible gum. This elegant engraving is apparently RARE with only 2 examples with this color on any paper recorded by me (as of 30 April 2022). NH XF centered single. Very dramatic appearance. One of only five different complete-design single-color engraved-only versions I have recorded. A stunning example of the engraving art!

Danish 1921 official national Christmas Seal. Design with GREENLAND THEME: Greenlandic Girl in traditional clothing, against snowy mountain background, Greenland POLAR BEAR coat of arms, Danish three lions coat of arms. FULL SHEET of 50 in wonderful quality. The sheet is extremely fresh and bright, with strong perforations without any separations and has never been folded. The gum is perfect except for four hinge marks, two in the top margin (selvage) and two on seals in the bottom row. (I have never seen a completely NH example of this sheet.) In the bottom margin (selvage) at the right, three of the selvage tabs have some excess adhesive on their fronts, likely from the production process -- most people would not notice it if it were not pointed out. The centering is generally F-VF (which very typical for the 1921 seals), however there are 17 seals that are VF or better, with a few in the XF or Superb range. This is the only example of a full sheet of the 1921 seal that I have actually recorded having in the last 48 years, but I have a vague memory of having one or two other examples back in the 1970s. Also, quite notably, while I have quantity stock of most 1910s-1920s seals, I have no backup stock of this year and when I purchased the remains of the huge A.E. Pade (famous Danish stamp dealer who moved his business to the U.S. in the 1930s) Christmas Seal stock back in the 1970s, there were virtually no examples of this year in his stock. I do not know if this year was printed in panes of 50 or if it was printed in larger sheets that were divided into panes of 50. However, due to the printing method (typography) and the method of production, tiny (flyspeck) differences can be found for most or all positions... thus this sheet (pane) could be used as the basis of plating this issue if one were so inclined. A "rare" and beautiful item that would be very important for a Danish Christmas Seal collection and a crowning piece for a Greenlandic Christmas Seal collection. The AFA 2021 catalog value for a NH perfect sheet is DKK 4500 (about US$675 [4/2022]). That value seems quite low to me considering the rarity! AFA also gives a value of DKK 2000 for a sheet that has been folded and/or with separations and/or hinged, etc. The break-up value of this sheet is over $500. This is much, much nicer than that! It is not often that I can offer such a beautiful item!

1980 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. JSA Color "AF". Engraved-only including all engraved design elements except the building at right is albino: all in brown except horse and tops of three items in dark green; building at right is impressed, but without inking. The paper is white with white fluorescence. NH with F-VF centering, but with pre-printing diagonal (like a lightning bolt) paper fold. This is the first example of any of this test stamp design that I have seen with a pre-printing paper fold. (On an inexpensive stamp, such a pre-printing paper fold would increase the value, but in this case, I feel it reduces the price. This would otherwise be $325 due to its rarity.) This example, offered to me in November 2021, is one of only two examples of this color combination that I have recorded; the other example is part of a progressive color set. This is the ORIGINAL 1980 ENGRAVING with much greater detail and with "PRØVE" engraved. This is a completely different Slania engraving from the commonly seen 1985 DFF multi-colored printing. A RARE ITEM. While it is possible that other examples of this may eventually be discovered, it has taken more than 30 years to find this color combination!

Boom #3.19, Facit #H11, AFA #2kr-4 [1937 Dybbøl Mill] NH VF complete booklet in wonderful, fresh quality. The cover has never been bent/creased (there are the usual couple minor dents from the staples of other booklets in the stack; this is expected). This booklet contains panes of Scott #B6-8, with accompanying one-each per pane 223a (two 223d panes), 229 (one 229b pane), and 238A Small Pearls (one 238Al pane). This is the only source for Scott #223a (the Gray Green 5 øre Numeral stamp). Just the in-demand two #223a and the one #238 Small Pearls stamps have a total actual selling price of $175! The 2021 AFA value for the booklet is DKK 1700 = about US$270 (12/2021). This booklets is often "well handled" but this example is very fresh. The panes in this example are all VF or better. [Images of the covers are of this specific example, but the images the of panes shown on website are generic panes, NOT from this particular example.]

1985 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. COMPLETE DESIGN OFFSET-PRINTED ONLY (INCLUDING THE USUALLY-ENGRAVED PORTIONS). JSA #"1985-offset-A". A SPECTACULAR AND COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED NEW DISCOVERY made in August 2021 -- THE FIRST AND ONLY VERSION OF THE COMPLETE 1985 DESIGN / PRINTING, PRINTED ONLY BY OFFSET / LITHOGRAPHY, THAT I HAVE RECORDED. After the 1980 printings, the die and plate were apparently lost or destroyed, thus a completely new engraving had to be made. There are many design differences between the original 1980 engraving and the 1985 engraving, both had major parts of the design engraved. This example has offset printing of the colored areas as usual for the 1985 design, but the black portions (frame line, many parts of the design, the date, and the Slania name) have also all been printed in black by offset press (lithography), without half-toning. Examination under high magnification indicates that an offset (lithographic) plate was made from by photographing an engraved-printed (i.e. "recess" printed) impression of only the engraved portions of the design. This might explain the existence of black-only (other colors exist as well) engraved-only-portions versions of the stamp. Extremely small design details from the engraved version are faithfully represented in this offset-printed version. The rest of the usual colored offset-printed areas of the design are printed as normal, using the full CMY(K) half-tone process (with only cyan [blue], magenta, yellow, and NOT K/black because the black is printed by a non-halftone plate, as normal, but normally an engraved plate). The colors of this stamp are more muted than the issued stamp, less green and blue, with more yellowish-green areas. This type of printing is very complex and required the use of an engraved-portions-only die print to create the offset-press black plate. This is NOT a "reproduction" and it is certainly not a forgery. This is a very real test of what the stamp would have actually looked like if it was entirely printed by offset press (which would have been cheaper than if the black plate was engraved). All these tests were carried out by the manufacturer of the printing press and thus they would have wanted to show the post office what level of quality could be produced by starting with an engraved die, using a print from the engraved die as the image source for an offset-printed stamp. The result of this test is quite good, but the black printing is not as fine, crisp, delicate, or dark as the normal engraved versions. This is a previously unrecorded type of very "real" test stamp, that was actually used for testing, from the 1985 engraving. This version is printed on off-white paper (as are the other 1985 varieties, other than the issued stamp), but WITH BLUISH-WHITE FLUORESCENCE (as has the "1985-B" variety, but unlike either the bright yellowish-white fluorescence of the "1985-A" variety or the bright white paper with very strong dark yellow fluorescence of the issued stamp). I discovered this example in August 2021, 36 years after the stamps were printed. This stamp is RARE; I have only recorded two examples. (More examples may yet be discovered.) This example was found in a small group of stamps that I am told came directly from a family member of a retired employee of the printing press manufacturer. NH VF single. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this stamp -- a completely new type or version of this famous test stamp! [Price Protection Guarantee: If more examples of this variety are discovered and if thus my price for similar examples declines to the level of other major varieties that I offer, I will refund the difference in price upon request. Guarantee valid for the lifetime of Jay Smith.]

1980 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. JSA Color "X": Yellow and Magenta OFFSET-PRINTED COLORS ONLY, including the PRØVE. No engraved areas present. From the original color trial and progressive proofing process. No such offset-only examples are recorded from the from the later 1985 DFF multi-colored printing. White, white fluorescent paper, with invisible gum. This stamp is RARE; I have only recorded THIS SINGLE EXAMPLE, which I am told came from the estate of one of the employees of the printing press manufacturer. NH VF single. Very dramatic appearance.

1968 "DANIA 68" stamp show souvenir card reproducing four essays (unapproved stamp designs) for modern Danish stamp issues, against a background image of the early København central city (celebrating 800th anniversary of the city founding). The show was "under the protection of" Prince Henrik; the card bears his silhouette image and a blue facsimile of his signature at upper left. According to text printed on the back of card, the essays were designed by the Danish stamp designer, then at the United Nations, Olav S. Mathiesen; his signature usually appears at the bottom. Though I have never seen them listed or cataloged anywhere, there are multiple versions of the card: 1) The Mathiesen signature may be a printed facsimile in blue (thin lines); or may be hand-signed (thicker lines), in at least two styles; or perhaps (?) signature not present at all, though the text on the back of the card states that all cards are "signed by hand by the artist himself" (certainly not always true). 2) The card exists without serial number; or with serial number in blue (I have seen a picture, but have not had in 46 years); or with serial number in green (seems to be scarce); or with serial number in black; or with serial number in red (probably very scarce; I have only seen one in 46 years). All numbered examples I have seen have the number in the lower left corner. The only unnumbered examples that I have recorded all also have the Mathiesen printed facsimile signature. In my experience, all versions are surprisingly hard to find. This card version is with Mathiesen hand signature, with horizontal line in leading "O", and with a GREEN serial number.

1976 (?) Souvenir Card reproducing the classic essay portrait of Frederick VII, originally engraved by M.W. Ferslew ca.1850 as a partial design proposal for the first Danish stamp issue. Printed by typography in blue on thin, watermarked paper, by the modern-day Ferslew firm. I suspect that this was created for distribution at or in conjunction with the Hafnia 1976 stamp show (because it was found among other Hafnia 76 items). However, this is the only example I have seen in 46 years and I do not have any supporting documentation or references; my Internet searches have not found any images of this particular item. I welcome further information, reports of examples, reports of other versions, etc., and to buy any such items.

Kolding CR #4I IMPERFORATE, DARK GREEN [1888 3 øre green Castle] Mint Superb with four huge margins, showing the layout corner marks at all four corners (extremely unusual thus), without gum as typical, but appears to never have been gummed. Imperforates are scarce and Kolding stamps with gum are scarce -- In 46 years, I have never seen this imperforate stamp with gum.

Kolding CR #5I IMPERFORATE with EXTREMELY DARK COLOR on EXTREMELY THIN PAPER [1889 3 øre purple-brown Castle] Mint XF with large margins, without gum as typical. This 1889 issue is known to have been printed locally by a firm in Kolding and has small design difference from previous and has dividing lines between the stamps (unlike previous). In 46 years, I have never seen this imperforate with gum. Due to the different color and different paper, I suspect that this is actually a proof; no such proof has been cataloged either by CR or Daka. This is the only second example (the other was a pair) of this color and/or this paper that I have recorded for this imperforate stamp. Outstanding item!

1985 Slania-engraved Horse Statue test stamp. JSA #"1985-A" (was [1980] "D") NEW DISCOVERY as of September 2012 -- THE ONLY VARIATION (up to September 2012) OF THE 1985 PRINTING THAT I HAD RECORDED. After the 1980 printings, the die and plate were apparently lost or destroyed, thus a completely new engraving had to be made. There are many design differences between the original 1980 engraving and the 1985 engraving; this is the 1985 engraving. This previously unrecorded stamp is probably a "real" test stamp, that was actually used for testing, from the 1985 engraving (it is different from the large quantity specially printed for distribution to collectors). It appears very similar to the issued 1985 stamp except that the colors are less vibrant, with much lighter yellow, the PRØVE looks Blue, and it is printed on off-white paper with BRIGHT YELLOWISH-WHITE FLUORESCENCE (instead of bright white paper with very strong dark yellow fluorescence of the issued stamp). This was the first 1985 printing I had recorded with a paper or color difference. As with the issued 1985 stamps, the PRØVE is not engraved. This stamp is RARE with only about 24 examples recorded from the original discovery. NH VF single. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this stamp; this variation of the 1985 engraving was not discovered until about 25 years after it was printed!
