	This stamp was in use in Norway c. 1850. The text is 'KORT STEMPEL', and the double '1' is the stamp number. (scanned by Jean Darquenne)
	This stamp was in use in Norway c. 1900. The text is 'KORT-STEMPEL'. The stamp number here is '33', this was used on an imported pack.
	This stamp was in use in Norway c. 1920. The text is again 'KORT-STEMPEL', but the crown differs, and the coat of arms has a different form. The stamp number is '1' again.

These are stamps that were in use c. 1930 to c. 1940. The text is always 'KORT-STEMPEL' and 'Nr. 1', but the crown and the shield look a bit different on each of them. (right stamp scanned by Christian de Ryck)

	This stamp was in use c. 1950. The text is 'Kgl. Finans- og Tolldepartement' and 'Splilkortavgift' (which probably is misspelled for 'Spillkortavgift').
	This stamp may have been in use c. 1960. The text is 'STEMPELAVGIFT'. (scanned by Torsten Bille)
	This stamp may also have been in use c. 1960. The text is again 'STEMPELAVGIFT', but the coat-of-arms seems to have a slightly different design.
	This stamp was in use c. 1970. The text is again 'STEMPELAVGIFT', but the coat-of-arms is smaller.

The stamp was normally on the Ace of Spades, but I have seen an illustration of a Norwegian tax stamp on an Ace of Hearts.
