I picked up a set of three little covers from Sweden. The top one shows a PKXP cancel, which I believe is a Swedish RPO.

Yes, Pkxp is an RPO.It is short for Postkupeexpedition . No 42 was used on the line Laxå-Falköping Ranten-Nässjö. This specific handstamp was used from 1886 to 1953.

Here is my new favorite letter sheet, from Turkey. This seems like the postal stationery equivalent to a Russian doll. Attached inside the letter card is a smaller reply letter card -- just detach and mail back!

Nice letter card. First time I have ever seen one from Turkey. Several other countries do similar things. Yours was in great shape. Thanks for sharing.

Picked up a nice pair of Message-Reply cards from San Marino -- first stationery from this country for me.

I have noticed a void of items from North Korea being posted on this page. For beginners, they have released postal cards, aerogrammes, envelopes, etc of postal stationery items over the past 20 plus years now.

Are there any objections from anyone, if I post a few of their items on here?

I guess Scotts has them banned from even listing the country. The country seems to have fallen into a "bad thing" to even talk about. What am I missing? Stamps is stamps!

This one is from Serbia, I believe, however there is no stamp imprint so I'm not certain this qualifies as postal stationery. Can anyone provide more info?

That used to be the case, but North Korea has been included in the Scott catalogue since the 2004 edition. I don't have any postal stationery from the DPRK, but I do have one stamp (Scott #506, commemorating the 520th anniversary of the Korean alphabet) in one of my topical collections and a couple more on my shopping list.

This postal card from Indonesiahas not been postally used directly, but since it has radio amateurs communication on the reverse, my guess is that it has been sent within a cover. I would also appreciate info on the issue date of the card itself, since I do not have a catalogue.
Thanks
