Denmark – Scott #s 327-28, used

Description

This is a used pair of Denmark Scott #327–328, issued in 1951 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Danish Naval Academy (1701–1951). These beautifully engraved stamps feature dramatic images of Danish naval sailing ships, rendered with the crisp maritime detail that characterizes Denmark’s mid-century commemoratives.

Set includes:

• 25 øre (Scott 327) – Carmine, showing a fully rigged naval training vessel cutting through the waves

• 50 øre (Scott 328) – Deep blue, depicting a similar vessel in richer, more elaborate linework

Both stamps show:

• Clean circular date cancels

• Strong impressions with excellent clarity of the sails, rigging, and waterline

• Sharp perforations and solid color retention

• “KGL POST DANMARK” inscriptions and the “F IX 1951” monogram marking the reign of King Frederik IX

These issues are especially popular among collectors of nautical and naval-themed stamps, as well as those specializing in Danish military history.
