They are all North Korea. the first two characters (the turned K on top of an upside down T and the one next to it say Cho Son, which is Korean for North Korea)
Yes it North Korean as already noted. There is a clear indicator in the Korean characters. If you look at the 1st character reading left to right you will see the similarities between the hand drawn type and the printed style on each stamp. You don't need to read the language just be able to to recognize certain details to identify their origin.
Quote: So Jan Simon speaks/reads Korean and German and ???
hehehe... I wish I could speak and really read Korean. No, that was with a little help of wikipedia and deduction. I wanted to know what part of the four words meant "North Korea", curious as I am. Korean script is fairly easy to decipher, unlike Chinese where you need to know all the characters.
I do speak / read Dutch, German, English, French and some Danish.
