Norway and Luxembourg Official Stamps with Overprints
Norway · 1900 · 1, 15, 40 øre (Norway); 5 centimes (Luxembourg)
A collection of official stamps from Norway and Luxembourg, featuring Norwegian 1, 15, and 40 øre values and a Luxembourg 5 centimes stamp. All stamps bear specific overprints indicating their official use, such as 'TJENESTEFRIMERKE' for Norway and 'OFFICIEL' for Luxembourg.
Official stamps were issued by many countries to frank mail sent by government departments, often to prevent misuse of regular postage or to track government expenditures. These particular issues reflect the administrative practices of Norway and Luxembourg around the turn of the 20th century.
