This is a new local post said to originate in Norway, Hustadvika. Any additional details? [Fabio Vaccarezza]
Hustadvika is located outside the coast of Norway. Nearest cities are Molde and Kristiansund. Most of the islands of Hustadvika are not covered by the Post of Norway. Hustadvika Post operates on these islands. Our stamps are valid on mail sent from Hustadvika to most countries of the world. Most letters are supplied with a meter impression in addition to the Hustadvikan stamps. We hope to avoid this in the future. Stockholm will be one of the first places outside Norway to receive mail only with Hustadvikan stamps and cancels. We also plan to start a re-mail service for Norwegian companies that send much mail to the Swedish capital. So far we have issued 5 different stamps. The first stamps were issued in 1997. The stamps in the marine-life miniature sheet are number 3, 4 and 5. 8 new stamps are currently for printing at The House of Questa.
I also design and deliver stamps for local posts of Sweden and for Hutt River Province Principality. I will soon have my own stamp perforating machine and start stamp production here in Norway. [Reidar Fjøren]
