That IS exciting! The Facit only lists 3 different plate varieties. But what I find even more exciting is that there is reference material available written in English! Thanks for posting that. What book is that from anyway?

I have absolutely no idea, one must consider a lot of really juicy study, by dedicated philatelists, never ends up in book print,
rather, is available through Stamp Club, Philatelic society productions, small run bulletins.
I believe this is one such example. I recall glossy print pages, so a quality bulletin from perhaps the late 1950's.
I'll have a nosy around my library.

I believe this is one such example. I recall glossy print pages, so a quality bulletin from perhaps the late 1950's. I'll have a nosy around my library. My first thought was The Posthorn from the Scandinavian Collectors Club. The SCC library lists this book, so you might have found either the book or the American Philatelist articles: DEN - 115 Title: “Denmark, Royal Emblems Issue 1864-68" “Denmark: The Royal Emblems Issue, 1864-70" Author: Alfred Birch John Agerup Publisher: American Philatelic Society The Royal Philatelic Society, London Description: two monographs: eight serial articles by Birch in The American Philatelist, November 1953-May 1957, and five serial articles by Agerup in The London Philatelist, February-June 1953, loose-leaf photocopy pages in binder Language - Date - Pages: E, 1953-55 1953 86 pp Copies of The Posthorn have been archived, but the new updated version of the SCC website is mostly broken for trying to access them. As is unfortunately often the case, the old stuff worked fine and everything got broken with the new website. No idea how long the old version will remain around, so here are links to both of them. www.scc-online.org/pharchives.htmlwww.scc-online.org/old/pharchives.htmRyan |

RE : "Rod, I would like a copy of the pages"
Right you are CS, give me a few hours.
Nice example of #87, I am an admirer only, cannot afford those stamps.
How about that lovely numeral Bullseye? do we know the location? is it "11" ?

It is '51' - Odense.
I have a list of where all Danish numeral bullseye cancels belong, so if you have any other you want identified - let me know.

I have the 5 pages scanned.
Would like to create a PDF, anyone recommend a safe, free program to do this please?
I have Libre Office and Foxit reader, but cannot see how to include multiple pages.
All advice welcomed.

I use Adobe InDesign, but it is hardly free..
Scribus would be my best guess.

Rod - I have used pdffill for some years and really like it. What is the format of your scanned file? I'll see if I can give it a test for you.

Hello Don, they are *.jpg format (x 5) I can email them to Classic Stamps, but would like to add the skill of creating a *.pdf LibreOffice will only seem to create a PDF from 1 page only, I cannot see a route to printing to PDF for more than 1 page. Do you want me to send you a couple/all the pages for a lookeesee? |

We have touch down Don,
created a PDF, and sent it on.
Not very intuitive for a 10 minute attempt, but we got there.
Notes: PDFill was easy to download 8Mb
You need adobe and ghost image, but the install does this for you.
You create blank pages for each A4 image you intend to load
draw a square to accept the image, and load it.
When you create the PDF you get a whacking great watermark image, across the page unless you pay them $19.95
But being as it is free, that's understandable.
It doesn't load any nasty search programs on install either.
Opens well in windows explorer, but my ACDSee program will not open the PDF, and just shows a picture.

LibreOffice will only seem to create a PDF from 1 page only, I cannot see a route to printing to PDF for more than 1 page. Rod, not sure what your print dialogue looks like, but is it perhaps set to print only the one page? |

Thanks Zuzu, that was very helpful. I selected the 5 x *.jpg images, selected print, and was given multiple choices in the dialog box, Lo and behold, there was the PDFil option. I selected "print to file" it melded the five images into a PDfl file not PDF, my pdf reader would not recognise it. Getting closer though and there was no watermark also ? Thanks for your assistance  |

If you have Microsoft Word you can insert the jpg's into a Word document and then save it as a pdf.

All advice welcomed. I have used PDFCreator for many years. The program is actually a printer driver. If you want to create a .PDF file, you print the file, but when the printer dialogue box comes up, you select PDFCreator as your printer, not your Epson or HP or what have you. The file you are "printing" is saved as a .PDF file. www.pdfforge.org/Printing a single .JPG will create a single .PDF file. You can then use a simple program like PDF Toolkit to stitch the individual .PDFs into one big document. www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/Ryan |
