These are the pages for Sweden from my worlwide airmail collection. Please let me know if you have any of the missing stamps available for trade. I try to get the coils in pairs. I am also interested in acquiring a complete booklet or panes of the Flying Swan issues. I have a ton of material to select for trading.   |

Terry: Really glad you are posting these pages, not just for Sweden but for whichever countries you post to. Thanks!
It might not have been relevant yet, but as you go along, could you point out which airmail stamps are not Scott-listed? For some reason, I seem particularly interested in that. (Probably because there's more of a story behind them.)
Thanks very much for all the great material!

hope I'm in the right place with this - can shift to blocks and multiples if preferred. This block/joined set was issued in September 1972 with the title 'Transportation Of Mail By Air', and according to my trawling on Stamp World was offered in two formats, though I don't see it shown as a block. The two offerings were:- stamps had a non-perf edge at either the top or bottom - only the one edge, not two - which seems rather odd, though am sure there was a practical reason for this. However, as you see here, this block has non-perfs at top and bottom, so a little curious - anyone care to comment. thanks for looking.  |

It is a pane from a booklet.
Sweden issues most stamps in booklet format and definitives can come in coil so imperf edges are quite normal.

I am guessing that Stamp World were referring to each individual stamp in their description. As vikingeck stated, many Swedish stamps are issued in booklets. The correct term for your very nice item is 'Se-Tenant Booklet Pane'. The pane would have had a margin to the left (or to the right ?) which would have been attached to the booklet cover. I believe this issue was only offered in booklets. Individual stamps can be found with straight edges top and bottom or left and right if they came from coils (or rolls over the counter). These can come in the form of Vertical coils (straight edges left and right) or horizontal coils (straight edges top and bottom). I have no knowledge of the make up of the sheets printed for Booklet use but it might be interesting to find out. I can then compare with booklets here in Israel. Have fun. Londonbus1 |

so from a booklet then, that makes sense - many thanks to vikingeck and Londonbus1 for their help with this one. Yes, theses items, as shown on Stamp World, were being referred to as separate stamps, and I probably didn't make that clear in my original post. Thanks also for the explanation of 'Se-Tenant' which I'd vaguely been aware of, which apparently refers to adjoining stamps which differ from each other, usually in value or design. I'd not had it in mind to make a Swedish collection, but this came in with many unused second half C20 Swedish issues, so might be another collection in the making!! I rather like this 'pastel shade' of colouring on modern issues - thanks again.

Swedish stamps are among the best of the second half of the XXth century with many works by Master Slania.
These stamps were just issued as booklets. No coil stamps.
