hi rookiesadi - I have sourced a supplier of 'Scandinavian Score'
pullovers in Norway, and have made the necessary enquiries. I'm
waiting to receive instructions as to how one can buy these pullovers.
Unless another researcher can accommodate you sooner, I will post my
findings as soon as i receive an appropriate reply from this company.
Peace.

Hi rookiesadi,
I have located two stores which carries this brand. Only one of them
have an online catalogue for you to see their sweaters. This store
shows only one Score Sweater. Would giving you contact information for
this store be sufficient for an answer?
I have also contacted them requesting information on whether thay
carry other styles of this sweater. I will let you know their
response.
Best regards,
rainbow-ga

I am especially interested in phone numbers (of any retailer, producer
or store), online catalogs, stores in Norway or in New York so that I
can talk about catalog or choose a model from a catalog.

Hello rookiesadi,

SCORE does not appear to be featured very widely by retailers of
Norwegian knitwear.

Here are contact details for the retailers I have been able to find,
all three in Norway:

Maurtua
“We are a homecraft store located in the center of Oslo (next to the
City Hall). We sell Norwegian sweaters from Dale of Norway,
Nordstrikk, Vrikke, Scandinavian SCORE and have our own collection of
handknitted sweaters.”
“You will in the near future be able to buy these articles from this
page at competitive prices.”

 E-mail   maurmail@maurtua.no

Geilo Sport AS 
“a family business established in 1924, with the emphasis on quality
and service…
 The souvenir department is well worth a visit. Here you will find a
wide selection of traditional Norwegian Sweaters from Dale of Norway
and SCORE”
Geilo Sport AS, Geilovn. 42, 
3580 Geilo, NORWAY 
Tel: +47 32 09 55 55 
Fax: +4732 09 55 50

Norwegian Sweaters
This retailer is probably too small-scale to be of interest, and
focuses mainly on secondhand sweaters, although some new ones are
featured on the site, including one SCORE sweater at
http://www.norwegianwool.com/unisex_sider/unisex7.htm
“Norwegian Sweaters  Was started in January 2001 , launching its Web
site  (http://www.norwegianwool.com/) in August 2001.  We are situated
on the westcoast of Norway in Bergen. The second largest city in our
contry. We sell mostly used traditional Norwegian high quality
Sweaters , but also New Norwegian Sweaters.”
These people are eBay sellers (feedback

Search strategies: 1. “Scandinavian Score”, 2. Score, sweaters,
Norwegian  3. Norway, Score, sweaters
In addition, I searched on “Norwegian sweaters” and visited a number
of sites which offer these, but did not succeed in finding any SCORE
products
Sites visited:

A space crept into the Norwegian Sweaters email, which should of
course be mail@norwegianwool.com

This was a great answer.

I researched your question a little bit yesterday; but it was locked
for comments before I had a chance to post it... I guess some of the
information is doubled up; but that can't hurt:-)

I live in Norway; so I guess I could help:-) I am unfortunately not
familiar with the brand "Scandinavian Score Design" from "L&B
Scandinavia"; but I assume you are looking for what is known as a
"lusekofte". (Picture:
http://www.norskfolke.museum.no/utstillinger/nettutstillinger/setesdal/bilder/n1187_52.jpg
)

I tried to call the number-information; but they could not find any
L&B Scandinavia in Bergen; nor could they find a phone number to
Scandinavian SCORE. "Lusekofter" are being produced in large numbers
in the Orient (as well as in Norway); and are being sold in massive
numbers, especially to tourists.

I found some sites you might be interrested in; several of them
showing images from a company called "Oleana". They are known for high
quality, and good design.

This is a German site showing pictures of some of Oleanas models:
http://www.goessl-salzburg.at/Norweger/Norwegen/NorwegerHa.htm

This American site sells both Oleana and Dale Of Norway, another
company known for high quality.
http://www.litenhus.com/oleana.html
http://www.litenhus.com/dalesweaters/dale.html

This is the address to Oleanas own shop in Bergen:
http://www.bergen-guide.com/595.htm

This page sells a lot of knitted clothes:
http://www.sweatershopnorway.com/

And finally; this shop sells Scandinavian SCORE pullovers:)

Hello arsenic,

Perhaps you did not notice, but I had already listed Maurtua
http://www.maurtua.no/ as a stockist of SCORE sweaters in my answer,
together with a telephone contact as requested in the clarification
request, plus two other retailers which feature this brand.  The other
four leads you supply do indeed stock Norwegian sweaters, as do the
seven that I mention in my answer.  Unfortunately, they are not the
particular brand requested in this question. There are a huge number
of retailers, on or off the Web, supplying various makes of Norwegian
sweaters.  However, since they do not supply SCORE sweaters, they are
of peripheral relevace to the query.

I know this; and I think you posted an excellent answer, tehuti-ga:-)
I did a little searching for the answer yesterday and got the
information above; but when I returned here the answer was locked.

Instead of editing the crude research; I decided I would post it as an
additional comment to your answer. That is also why I put in this
text:

>I researched your question a little bit yesterday; but it was locked
>for comments before I had a chance to post it... I guess some of the
>information is doubled up; but that can't hurt:-) 

I know the information in my comment is mostly unrelated; but I think
L&B Scandinavia/Scandinavian SCORE have a limited selection. The
impression I got from rookiesadi-ga was that she would like something
to choose from.

Sorry if you perceived my comment as criticism; it was in now way
intended to be:-)
