16.5 = 16.May (1940), Sweden During WWII it should be kept secret from where mail from military forces came. Every post office got a handstamp with the word "Postanstalten"= "The Post Office" and a four digit number. For smaller post offices also a letter was added. In the mid 1940 these postmarks could not be delivered fast enough so different privisional cancels were used as this one.  |
