| Type III (1849) |
 |
Due to a research error in the 1950s and '60s, this was called type III, but has not been documented in use before type IV. The IIIa is the original, known for sure from 12th February 1849. However, the cancel must have been too lumpy for the good citizens of Christiania, and was soon reengraved/cut thinner. Hence, type IIIb is common while IIIa less common.
First use of type IIIb registered as 16-3-1849.
This canceller seems to disappear soon after the introduction of the stamp, but this is difficult to verify because no postal records exist from Christiania at that time, and the canceller which remains in use is so heavily re-worked that it can either be type III or type IV. (Hits: 691)
