Dänische Nummernstempel in Schleswig-Holstein benutzt

Hello Ole,

yes on the backside you find a arrival postmark, have a look ->

Best regards

Hi DSBerliner

The writing on the back indicates the cover is (inside-dated?) late 1863, but the stamp looks like (with all reservations😊) to be 3rd or 4th print of dk#7 from 1859/1860, which indicates a late usage. Not a super rare or illegal phenonema, but a quite interesting detail, which is sometimes seen from the smaller post offices like Büchen, with less turnaround in stamps sales. Could also just be a coincidence. Nevertheless, a nice cover in all respects.

Kind regards

Ole

Hi Ole,

Best regards

Hallo,

ein weiterer Brief aus Büchen - auch wenn ich jetzt schon 2 Briefe zeigen kann, gehört der Stempel "151" immer noch zu den etwas "nicht so häufigen" Stempel von SH.

Einfacher portogerecht frankierter Brief aus Büchen nach Mölln. Frankiert mit 4 Skilling (MiNr.: DK 7a) für die Beförderung innerhalb des Herzogtums Lauenburg. Entwertung mit dänischen 3 - Ringnummern - Stempel "151" und neben gesetzt EKS "Büchen 14/1 1863" für das Aufgabepostamt. Rückseitig Ankunftsstempel "Mölln 14/1 10-11V".

Beste Grüße

Hi - nice cover too. And I fully agree with you - NS 151 is rare - having two of those is pretty good👍😊

Cheers,

Ole

Here is numeral 136 Ahrensburg on Fire RBS Thiele II. Note the handwritten date in the cds-postmark - this is often seen on Ahrensburg covers.

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

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

Ole

Hallo zusammen,

einen Beleg kann ich auch beitragen, wenn auch der Nummernstempel von Flensburg nicht selten sein dürfte:

Lieber Dieter,

viele sagen, Jürnge hätte alles. Das ist natürlich falsch, er hat weit mehr als das ...
