Some more stamps from another series of King Christian X.. this time a right profile.. series (6) 1934/1941; I already talked about these 4 series of definitive stamps , that in my opinion are really beautiful and without doubts "must have" items (this is not a frequent classification , when we are talking about relatively long series with the repetition of just one design...) .

Perf: 13

something more about King Christian X [ specially for fan's of Royal Postcards and Photos]

Now , we have some stamps of King Frederik IX.. ; to study these series , we must divide the stamps in 3 different varieties..

1) background just with horizontal lines..

2) background with Horizontal and Vertical lines (1st little square..) and King's Uniform with parallel lines (2nd little square..)

3) same background and King's uniform with perpendicular lines creating a "chess" pattern ( 3rd little square..)

This series had 4 emissions [(9) 1948/1950,(9) 1950/1951,(9) 1952/1953,(1) 1955 ]

These varieties are only important in the 1st emission , because the other one's have only stamps of the type 3)

The 3 stamps presented above, belong to the 1st emission of 1948/1950..the 1st 3rd stamps are type 3 and the 2nd is strange.. it seems to me that it is a type 2 but it cannot be , according to the catalogs. The perforation is 13 , for the all 4 emissions..

from the Series (4) 1965 "Nobel Prize Winners of 1905"... because of this stamps , I remembered that last month I had the opportunity of buying a beautiful thematic collection, mostly MNH stamps, of Nobel Prize Winners , with stamps from various countries.. of course , I didn't buy it because of my current financial problem... it is very difficult to be a stamp collector without money to buy stamps.!!.. I have to restrain myself of seeing stamps, auctions and those kind of things , because or I don't have the money or I'll end spending money I will need for more urgent matters in the future..

The personalities in the stamp are Philipp Von Lenard and Adolph Von Baeyer.
