Hello everyone!
I just joined and would like to introduce myself. I am Danish, 47 years old at this time of writing, and working as an IT-consultant. I'm living in Odense and was born and raised in Aabenraa (Apenrade). So being a Slesviger, my collection is a Heimat-Sammlung of sorts.
My main interest is cancellations from the nowadays Schleswig-Holstein and Sønderjylland regions on Danish stamps, 1851-1864. This includes cancellations with numerals, ink and any of the many special post marks from this area.
However, I do also look into other periods, such as 1864 - 1920 and philately from the 1920 Plebiscit.
Over the years, I have found much valuable information in this forum, so I'm happy to join and looking forward to contribute to the discussions.
I read German quite well and can, though with some struggle, also write in German, but I prefer writing in English.
See you in the forums!
