Does any know a good way to keep the post horn stamps from Norway apart, how to Identify them. I just sat for 3 hours trying to sort 5 stamps with no concrete results. I have a fairly large amount of these and if I continue with them I might throw them, book and catalog out the window.Crying

re: Norway, Posthorn stamps give me a headache

If you have any with clearly dated postmarks, you can use those as an aide as well.

Example:
Using the pictures in the article Musicman posted: If you have one that is clearly dated 1880, then it cannot be any of the issues released after 1880, only the issues printed previous to that. But like I said, it only works for those with clear dates. It's not fool proof, but it will allow you eliminate some of the choices.

Thank you all for your help. I put the stamps away for now, better than throwing them out the window.Big Grin

A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent).

re: Norway, Posthorn stamps give me a headache

We used to have a wonderful man named Rob who specialised in this area. Sadly after his stroke he had no interest in stamp collecting. His wealth of knowledge is greatly missed.

re: Norway, Posthorn stamps give me a headache

I found one helpful page in Norwegian I think it´s from a dealer, unfortunately when I try to find a page in German all I get is e-bay and the like. This is going to be a challenge! Had a similar problem with the older stamps from Sweden but got them sorted after awhile. Again thank you all for your helpfulness. You people are the best.

Here is the Posthorn key identifying. It is in Norwegian, but with help from google traslate i think it will work.
