Just re-reading this thread and noticed that Sorsh posted this, and didn't see a reply - "add a danish one with 946 - I do not know the name of the town"
946 was Middlesborough, an east coast town that had a large ship building industry, so would be a relevant destination for people from Scandinavia.

Only one "o" in Middlesbrough, David, as any Smoggie will tell you It was the source of 20% of UK exports in the '60s, prior to the destruction of north-east industry. |

The Faltpost doesn't really count as mutilated stationery in my book. Those were printed as stationery provided to troops, but that stamp was under the back flap and designed to be cut out and used as return postage. The soldier could then send off his letter home and the family could reply, both for free. The part of the envelope that could be mutilated has a posthorn design rather than the three crowns. |

Thank you vayolene.  I recognise the stamp on that envelope, I don't recall seeing it on a full envelope. |

Love the covers. I have a couple similar to your second and fourth. Is the last one a money order? |

Yes Nora, I see a Worldwide collector in the making. Be warned, you are grasping the Tiger by the tail.  |
