That's as far as I can get.

I think the date on the cancellation is Dec. 7, 1922.

Craig, I'm not sure of date format used in Norway during the beginning of the 1900s but checking the following website, it shows the dates for Norway as DMY: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

I have many early 1900 Germany cancellations and the format for date on those stamps is DMY e.g. 15.8.23
