I can add another detail to this cover: There exist surprisingly many covers from Apenrade franked with 3 x 4 skilling, compared to fx Hadersleben or Sønderborg. They are almost always addressed to Rostock (probably originating from same correspondance), and as far as I recall, this is the only "non-Rostock" cover I have seen from Apenrade with 3 x 4sk.

Hi DSBerlin
I won it on vf-auktion.dk earlier today - VF usually doesn't have so much material from Alt Deutschland, so I was lucky

Here is another example of a Prussian stamp used in SH:
1 sbgr with DK antiqua-type postmark from Schwarzenbeck to Lübeck.
Seems like the SH stations on the Hamburg - Berlin railway (Büchen, Schwarzenbeck and Friedrichsruh) is the primary origin of this phenonema - leaving DSBerlin's excellent Ratzeburg ganzsache as the exception that confirms the rule (Ratzeburg not a Hamburg-Berlin Bahn station).
Could it be, that these Prussian stamps were only sold in the towns on the Hamburg-Berlin railway ?

Cameo: Line canceller "Schwarzenbeck" on a Prussian Ganzsache...
I say the same as DSBerlin: 👍👍👍
Drop a note to me, if you one day get tired of having this in your collection 😊

Hehe, antiqua Schwarzenbeck on a Prussian stamp - added to my shopping list along with Büchen and Friedrichsruhe, in the category "Things I didn't know existed, but now I need it"😊

Hi DSBerlin
Good advice by nordlicht - and good findings by you😊
Interesting btw, that you have both Büchen and Friedrichsruhe on Preussian stamps. As far as I remember were both stations on the Hamburg-Berlin railway - perhaps a connection? (nordlicht😊?)
Both antiqua postmarks from Büchen and Friedrichsruhe are in the very difficult end. Rare and attractive material - interesting chapter in SH postal history!

Hi DSBerlin
I'm quite impressed over your collection of Preussen used in Schleswig-Holstein!The postmark seems to me like the antiqua VI from Friedrichsruhe, which in itself is an uncommon postmark.
Thanks for sharing 👍

...the date of April 2, 1851 would be interesting, being a second-day letter in Danish philately (Fire RBS, Ferslew print came out April 1st), however, I think both month and year immediately is difficult to confirm...

Dear nordlicht
I agree with your comments - and I also do not know any other SH postmarks on 2 RBS Thiele.
Wrt "168", I think this is only "semi-confirmed" - the only proof I personally have seen, is below from Bruun-Rasmussen, auction 863. However, I agree with Vagn Jensen and Lasse Nielsen, that this is most likely postmark "168".
Wrt 2 RBS cancelled "121" in Kiel: A non-defective copy, is in top-3 of my manco list😊

The second Danish stamp, 2 Rigsbankskilling, was intended to be used for local mail in Copenhagen, being the only in city in Denmark large enough, to have a local mail service in 1851/52 (apart from Aalborg - Nørresundby).
The stamp came in to prints, 2a (Ferslew print, 1851 - burlage on copper plates) and 2b (Thiele print, 1852).
Almost all 2a's are mutely cancelled, while 2b are typically cancelled with numeral "1" (Copenhagen).Very few 2 RBS-stamps exist with other postmarks than mute or "1" - numeral "34" (Copenhagen railway service) being the most "often" seen.
Below is a rare copy used in Schleswig-Holstein, cancelled by the Holstein railroad with numeral "170".
The stamp was in Carl Aage Møllers (BPP) private collection until 2012, where it was auctioned by Postiljonen (Sweden).

"eine urspünglich vorhandene (dänische) Krone fehlt, weil diese von den schleswig-holsteinischen Rebellen herausgebrochen wurde."
Good and interesting observation, nordlicht!!!👍👍👍

Exceedingly rare and attractive item, missing in my collection, as I have not seen one before - thanks for sharing!!👍

Hi nordlicht
I agree. Fire RBS combined with either of the Bergedorf cancellations are exceedingly rare, but apparently not impossible.
Cheers, Ole

Hi Volker,
Thank you for sharing. It is important to note, that there exist two different cancellations on Danish skilling from Bergedorf - the "5-line" and the "segment", as shown on the picture. Both are rare, and I would consider the segment type slightly rarer than 5-line. When Mozek writes it's unique, he must think of the combination of segment-cancellation and Fire RBS. Segment type on other skilling issues (#4, #7) are certainly rare, but also well known.
Cheers,

Hi
Here is a list of endorsements used by the royal/official mail service (Kongelig tjeneste 1771 - 1871). I assume, that letters with an "attest"-endorsement, contains the Danish authorities' confirmation of something to the receiver of the letter.
Cheers,

Hi
Censorship was abandoned and freie Meinungsäußerung was introduced in the Danish constitution in 1849, so a "denial of service" seems doubtful for that reason.
However, considering the tensions after 1848, it is not difficult to imagine, that some laws and regulations was introduced, to counter, what was considered an insurgency, by the Danish government.
In other words: I do not know the answer to your specific question about the post law - but, I would agree with Nils, that I also find it difficult to imagine, that such a decision could be taken locally.
Do you know, if the Hannnover-letter was also denied in Aabenraa ?
A very decorative cover, by the way!
Cheers

Hi Altsax - fantastic cover! There are so many good things to say about it, that I don't know where to start:-) Thanks for sharing!

Hi nordlicht,
I think the Glücksburgers had to use the regular NS 16 Flensburg canceller. It seems like: "no King, no canceller"
Btw, as far as I know, there a no known letters sent by the king himself - the three letters can all likely be attributed to his close family (including one "sorrow-letter", which I think was sent by one of his princess daughters).
Cheers

Numeral 183 Glücksburg on 4 skilling 1863-issue.
Glücksburg was originally assigned number 212, but the canceller stranded in Flensburg. In 1863 Gĺücksburg was reassigned number 183."According to legend", numeral 183 was only used when king Christian IX was present on Glücksburg castle, which was only few times in 1863-64. There are 3 known covers with NS 183 and a few lose stamps, like this. NS 183 is along with 213, 214 and 230 among the four rarest numerals.
Cheers
