Good evening.
Thanks in advance.

Can someone please identify what type of watermark is the one that appears on this stamp (U N)? (does not match swedish official watermarks).
It is from Sweden, probably Scott #77 that appears in the catalog as Unwatermarked.

Can it have any special value for that?

This is a the paper makers wmk.. Your stamp must of been in the margin position in the sheet.It is only a partial wmk of the entire name. Maybe some one knows the entire name.

From Facit catalog in reference to the B paper introduced in 1911, "The paper is watermarked KUNGL. POSTVERKET at regular intervals. Portions of this watermark thus can be found on some stamps which then are indicated KPV."

The used stamps with this watermark carry a slight premium, the mint ones have a better premium.
