Author Postings adam31415926 22 May 2015 01:29:51amI just finished cataloging several Norway stamps with lions on them. That was quite tedious! Some of them have 4-5 different varieties: different perfs, watermarks, sizes, etc.

A series that has been running for more than 125 years, with many more different types than the lions. :-)

I could tell shaded from unshaded. The other nomenclature I found online kind of baffled me. Do you know of any web page that would help a beginner in this area?

It has lots of illustrations that will guide you through the Post Horn jungle. If interested, let me know by private message.

I'm just starting to go through a group of posthorns, and your list is going to save me a lot of "thumbing" back-an-forth through Scott! Thanks for posting this list!
