What are these? [Jerry Ruby]

These are Swedish stamps, found in Facit special catalogue from 1988. They're Reply-Stamps for Military
Letters; there are 12 difficult stamps and many varieties of them. The first stamps came in 1929 the last
came in 1963; I think these two stamps are from 1939. [Vagn Andersen]

These stamps are cut out of Sweden Military envelopes. They were used by
Military Corps in many regions of the world, where they were sent for Peace Operations
(I supposed under U.N. or Society of Nations). I suppose FRANK envelopes (no cost to
send letters to their family to Sweden). I have some envelopes from: SAAR year 1935
"Swenska bataljonen" postmark (listed by Michel specialised), Congo 1962 "FN Bataljoen",
Egypt 1962 "FN Bataljonen" and Palestine 1958 U.N. Emergency Force, surely others exist. [Fabio
