Color shift on Finnish 2nd class Baby Bear postage stamp
February 5th, 2010 admin
It’s been a long time since I showed some of the EFO’s, but I think they will match perfectly with my current writings about stamp quality. Here’s something I picked up last night from kiloware I had soaked few days earlier. The first below stamp is the normal copy, and beneath it is the “whacked”

Russia x Denmark || Love Story- Dav...This is an amazing song by a youtube user. It may seem like I make a lot of videos for some... unknown couples... but this couple is adorable, and they share a lot of history together.. 1. THE ALLIANCE Denmark and Russia have been allied since 1493. Sad thing is, it's hard to find facts and such about it since it's kind of unknown, BUT, they celebrated the 500-anniversary with post stamps so I've got proof 8D 2. Denmark's princesses .... yeah. This is more known. 8D Denmark gave away some of his princesses to Russia to prove how much he love him the alliance ment to him. STILL hard to find facts about on teh internetz, but I did find a wiki article about Maria Feodorovna. XD 3. NAMES okay, this is a silly reason, but I think it's too cute to ignore :C Russian for Denmark is "Дания", pronounced "Danya". Russia's "human" name is "Ivan". A common nickname in Russia for Ivan is "Vanya". Just... seriously. Vanya and Danya. SQUEAL. 4. Russia's protectiveness Did you know, that several times when Denmark was in danger, Russia popped up from out of nowhere and went "FFFFFFFFFFFFFF"? Yes, I know that this is part of the alliance-thingie, but STILL. Russia declared war on people who attacked his Danya (yes I will use that name like there's no tomorrow), and even when he didn't, things went like this: Denmark: *minds own business* Prussia: *ATTACKS VITAL REGIONS* Russia: *POPS UP* hey, Prussia? Prussia: Eh? Russia: If you continue this war with Danya, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. Prussia <b>...</b>

Sestroryetsk M91...This is my newly acquired Sestroryetsk Mosin Nagant M91 rifle. I got so lucky today at a gun show today, I about shit myself once I figured out what this rifle was. I was expecting it to be a standard 91/30 refurb, but much to my surprise, it wasn't. I was so happy and excited, I could have done a screaming with joy arms flailing dance. But I can't dance, so I just did business instead. A $200 acquisition, well worth it. It was made in 1896. The Sestroryetsk arsenal is located a little bit north west of St. Petersburg in Russia near the Finland border. Lots of odd marks on this rifle especially on the underside of the barrel shank, as well as non-matching arsenal marks that appear to be predominately Tula and Izhevsk. The stock repair is Romanian. The rifle was in the Balkan states at some point. There are two pieces of evidence to support this. 1. There is an "E" suffix after the serial number. 2. The way the crest was peened off the top flat of the receiver. It looks Finnish, but with no other Finn signs on the rifle, Balkan is the best guess. 2 digit date stamps on the tang are pre-1900 dates, the last 2 numbers corresponding with the year made. So for example, this is 96, with the Sestroryetsk arrow splitting the numbers. Production year is 1896. Any questions, comments, suggestions, requests, etc. hit me up, leave a comment, or PM me. Always glad to help when I can! If you like what you see, rate and sub :)

IMHO the 1995 Christmas postage stamps are bit like the day before the Christmas eve. You have a feeling there’s still plenty to do, but at the same time you feel to be adrift. The domestic discount rate stamp features a skating Santa: Normal (internatianal) rate stamp features poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) floating in front of

In 1986 the Finnish Post issued their first, and so far also the last, se-tenant Christmas postage stamp issue. At the same time Christmas postage stamps returned back to use of two separate face values: discounted rate for early domestic mail and regular rate stamps for normal and international delivery. The discounted se-tenant stamps feature

Just to show a case of good luck in contrast to last post. This is something I found while sorting stamps I had soaked from kiloware… An Argentinian 10 peso definitive postage stamp issued in 1995. It looks like any modern day topical stamp, but if catalogs are to believe, this one is worth 30€

As some know, I was visiting Helsinki, capital of Finland earlier this week. Though I had planned on writing some notes from the road, I didn’t manage to write a single line. Such is life, LOL. Anyway…While updating the summaries for my “open for all” stamp exchange page last night, I came up with

The 1981 Christmas postage stamps celebrate the Christmas tree. Like the 1980 stamp issue, the set contains two separate values and designs. Once again, the stamp displays an idyllic image of past Christmas times when it was common for people to cut their own Christmas tree. These days most Finns live in cities and Christmas trees

Last thursday I managed to get a copy of “Norma 2010 – a specialized catalog of Finland postage stamps” from nearby public library. So I decided share yet another short catalog review. Some background In short, there are two major stamp catalogs in Finland – LaPe and Norma. Both have very long backgrounds with annual editions....
Keeping on eye for the quality is something I think many collectors do. Personally I admit that I’m in constant process of enhancing the quality of items in my collection. For the next couple of posts I’ll be writing up some notes about quality in general as well as diving more in-depth into world

The 1992 Christmas stamps are the very first Finnish stamps that focus entirely on religious side of Christmas. The domestic discount rate stamp displays a picture of early Christmas morning church. The Church of St. Lawrence (finnish: Pyhän Laurin kirkko) was established c. 1460, and it is one of most prestigious churches in Finland. The
