In the spring of 1996 I wrote a general article The Perfin Series, Part 1-8 on this subject which was posted on the Internet STAMPS List and in the news groups rec.collecting.postal-history and rec.collecting.stamps. After I posted this series I have found - thanks to a couple of kind people - new information on this subject. Also, as you can see, I have uploaded new a page with a Danish Perfin. Please enjoy the following pages with information on PERFINs on WWW - to the best of my knowledge:
