Netherlands : Stamps On Steiner Pages.

I think Google Translate gave up after three letters. What follows 'van' (of) is gibberish to me.

Had you entered the correct letter for that first o, it would have detected Norwegian or Danish and returned "The Disability Organisation."

Indeed, I knew that but lack the way to do it.

sometimes, it helps to enter a text in google so it lists results that include the correct spelling. You can copy the correct spelling from the search results into Google Translate. That is how I did it for this one. It did require a bit of scrolling down to find a hit with the exact spelling.

Interesting, I just tried with håp (with an o above the a) on an ADVENT Seal
Thanks for that tip.

As in a 2008 Norwegian 'advent' seal that has the message "hope" in Norwegian, I gather.

Yep! I am going with Norway.

Revenue : 1931-1947 Documentary. 10c
Crown held by two Lions passant Rampant , queue fourchy.

I think you offended the lions and made them 'rampant.'




A lion passant is as the English lion. It is 'passing' by. The Dutch lions are 'rampant.'
Also the tails are 'fourché' not fourchy.

Sheesh! sorry Lions, obviously a typo
"Passant" known from Chess.

PS: Unable to ID the Lion Type in the escutcheon, (on Ermine possibly)

However with fourchy, you can take that up with J.P. Brooke-Little
Clarenceux King of Arms
C.V.O., M.A., F.S.A., F.H.S., Norroy and Ulster King of Arms

Ah, the French heraldry does not know 'fourchy.' Fourché means 'forked' and is how the Dutch lion is described. We still use French for that.

edit:

The lion on the shield is that of Nassau. William of Nassau led the revolt against the King of Spain. The lion as symbol of that revolt got a sword and a bundle of arrows. This symbol of the Dutch states was adopted by the Nassau lion that is now the Dutch lion.

Aha! I see, being a documentary, I was assuming the lion had gripped a manuscript.
