Faröe Islands Sc/SG #2-6 issued 1940-41. The islands were administered by Britain during WW2 while Denmark was occupied by Germany and the 1940-41 surcharges were issued to cope with shortages. Scott orders the stamps by value, Gibbons by date.  |

Faröe Islands Sc7 SG6 issued 1975. The islands continued to use Danish stamps after WW2. The islands were granted self-government in 1948 and in 1975 began to issue their own stamps.  |
