Hej Hans,
48 Skilling (tryk 1 selvfølgelig), med Stjernestempel, position 15?
I believe the N inner frame gap matches the diagram in LN's book, or is that a random flaw as seen in position 2 of the sheet in the museum?
There is also a color dot in the SW, is that an inconsistent dot?
Obviously the condition of the stamp is less than optimal, but the cancel is nice. I am curious to know how many examples of the 48 skilling exist with stjernestempler.
mvh,
Anders

Dear Anders Melberg (Swedish?!)
You are on the right track but you need to work harder with the Postal Museum sheet of 48 Skilling. Apart from the minor flaws you point out, you should also be aware of the overall character of the cliché as such. Especially the thickness of the inner frames and the lay-out of the corner feathers are often distinctive.
So in this case – with a full sheet to study on the home page - , I feel convinced that the stamp is position 31, see illustration.
Best wishes Michael
48 skilling, pos 31
