NEVER HINGED - ALL PERFORATIONS on all the values of the fish series complete (no automat cut stamps though). In total there are 28 stamps as can be seen in the Facit catalogue, some of which are very difficult to obtain, especially as never hinged. Facit catalogue value for these stamps is 9.500, some of the stamps are however noted far too low in the catalogue considering how extremely difficult they are to acquire. This set comes from the collection of the late Johnny Pernerfors.

Jon Sigurdsson, cpl set on an envelope cancelled with the specially produced Thingvellir first day cancellation intended only to be used on that issue on that specific date. Interestingly the philatelist involved has added a block of four of the 10 aur Flag stamp of 1939 and convinced an employee of the post to cancel it for him with the same pictorial cancel. Scarce.
