    1881: Entire letters (2) both from Bergen to Portugal, one endorsed 'Circular' and prepaid with 1877 Posthorn 5 öre blue, the other at single ½ ounce rate franked by 1877 20 öre brown, each tied by fine strikes of BUREAU DE MER / DE NORWEGE datestamps in black. The 5 öre with some aging but the 20 öre cover superb - strangely also a Printed Circular but probably bore an enclosure. A scarce pair.
