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.
Two stamps I still miss in my collection.

  2. 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
