It´s wellknown the jokes by Slania, engraving microscopic names in the stamps. In case of right stamp appear the names of “Carl Philip” and “Madelein” in the clothes of childs. Slania told that he engraved the names because they were embroidered in clothes, in the photo after engraving was made , but many think that was really a joke…

Also in honour of Slania, his colleague and friend Piotr Naszarkowski made a design-joke, showing this stamp but with selfportrait made by Slania, showing to Slania as “King of Engravers”. (source P. Naszarkowski).
In the label engraved by Slania depicting his tools, could has a mistake or a joke by the engraver, with magnification we can see that word “Sverige” is not well engraved, obviously if “plate” is engraved, to print never can be read “Sverige”.
