Norway 1950 Post Horn Type

Norway · 1950 · 10 øre

This definitive stamp features the classic Norwegian Post Horn design, one of the world's longest-running stamp motifs. The central design shows a crowned post horn with the denomination '10' inside, surrounded by ornate scrollwork. The country name 'NORGE' appears at the top, with 'ØRE' at the bottom.

Issued in 1950, this stamp is part of the extensive Post Horn series that began in 1872. This particular version was printed using photogravure on unwatermarked paper, reflecting post-war printing technology updates.
