'The Viking', which described the Vikings as the heroic Norsemen that people might imagine today versus the barbarians of the past age, and was a turning-point in the rehabilitation of Norse culture among the Swedish people; although he rose to fame as a nationalist author, his views changed during his lifetime; during the last ten years of his life, he took an active part in politics, and began to advocate social reform and the causes of liberalism; 5øre, perforation 12¾ vertical, imperforated top and bottom sides, steel recessed engraved printed, dark yellow green, Scott 2019 catalog value: 25¢, off-centered as typical for a coil stamp, double strike cancels, both half circular, black-inked, single-rimmed, socked-on-the-nose cancels, one on the left quarter of the stamp, the second on the right half of the stamp, sound back, when viewed from the back, two short perforations on the left side, up and down from center, and three clipped perforations on the right side at the bottom, otherwise good perforations. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer. The stamp you see will be the stamp you receive.Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.50 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.66 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
