Two additional values were overprinted with rather unusual face values:
1,98 on 5 and 2,12 on 5.
Those two values were used for parcel post, that explains the odd values.
Two stamps I still miss in my collection.

Sweden : 07 Early issues 1917
In 1917 and 1918, the series of Gustav V stamps were overprinted.
Two additional values were overprinted with rather unusual face values:
1,98 on 5 and 2,12 on 5.
Those two values were used for parcel post, that explains the odd values.

Manuel, you have extensively read on the Swedish Stamps.I have such stamps too.I must look at them deeply.
That's the purpose of this blog :D
I got help by various catalogues.
I will only work on a collection if I have the proper local catalogues. Only those give sufficient information. World catalogues (like Gibbons, Scott, Michel, Yvert) only give basic information. But once you go into details, the fun starts :D
