Sweden
Czeslaw Slania started working for the Swedish Post Office in 1959, and has continued ever since. Over 40 years of his career the Swedish Post has issued more than 450 of his engraved stamps. They are all shown in this section. His famous 1000th engraving is shown on page 2000-2001. There exist also a few stamps for which he has made the layout (but not the engraving), or for which he "only" engraved the text, but not the stamp as such. Such stamps are shown on these pages for your convenience. Many thanks to Mr. Lars Gabrielsson (Sweden) for proof-reading this section.
Please note, that Swedish stamps come in various perforations (vertical and horizontal coils, or 2-, 3-, and 4-sided perforations according to their position in panes). It is thus no mistake, if two stamps of the same design, but of different colours and face values, have different perforations, as is for example the case with the two first stamps below on this page. There is no "fixed scheme" to perforating. The various perforations are sub-indexed to the main catalogue-number in the Swedish Facit-catalogue, and is a separate philatelic study which goes beyond the purpose of this site.
