 How did this club obtain the authorization to print images of this Denmark stamp? It is not perforated and is on a black background with full gum. |

 What you see on the front are simulated perforations. The back has full gum. |

The philatelic society in Odense still appears on a register of danish clubs. Wasn't aware of the society when I visited last June, for a concert by German band Rammstein. Pretty town, very friendly people.

My metal phase has lasted since 1969 Geoff, and shows no signs of relenting!  Got another Rammstein show in Dublin this year followed by Deep Purple's last ever tour in November! Regards DavidR |

Perhaps it was not actually valid for postal use. The post mark doesn't look to be a normal one. Could it be a souvenir sheet that never went through the post. By September 1940 the Danish authorities might have had more on their minds than possible breaches of copyright. |

Since this has not yet been fully answered...
The keys to this item are: a) not perforated: simulated perforations perforations by printing a black background; and b) brownish paper.
This item was made by the stamp club by printing the all the black ink on postal stationery wrappers and then cutting them out to make the illustrated item. It was legal in Denmark (for a long time) to use uncanceled postal stationery cut-outs as glued-on postage on all types of mail, including mixed with postage stamps or as added postage on a postal stationery item.
This particular approach is the one such instance (using postal stationery wrappers) that I can recall seeing from Denmark. However, in that time period, the Danish stamp clubs were very active and inventive, including printing directly on stamps (that was "illegal"); printing in sheet margins; and printing in the gutters of tete-beche-gutter pairs that existed (and were available to collectors) from the special-format sheets from which booklet panes were made. |
