Hi Timm, which stamp is this? I don't have a specialised Danish catalogue but I would be interested to check if there are any comments in Facit Special.
The caption read: "Paul Bergsøe & Søn" in Copenhagen. The stamp shown was issued in 1933. Later, in 1955, this firm bought a PERFIN machine (punching a "B") which was in use until April 1963. I do not know what the face of the stamp looks like.
In the last few weeks when this underprint was posted here, I had a look on the web. I found a website (I think I posted a link) that showed perfins from the late 19th century for a company with that name.
Unfortunately, the search function does not return anything relevant to the earlier post here, as usual. It looks like the thread was deleted.
Sounds like the company put their name at the reverse of the stamp to stop thief ,but it wasn't working so they started to perforate the stamp ,that way they can see the ownership even if used on a envelope .
