I just sold several of these recently. She's on several other early Italian revenues in different categories. Tracy Barber |

Thanks Tracy,
I wasn't sure if this was a cut out, it seems on thick papaer, I'll give it a gentle soak now. These Revenues are arriving constantly, what catalogue do you have/recommend?

Many revenueshave been cut to shape and one would have a tough time figuring out it it's on piece or thick paper. I'll give it a gentle soak now. Yup... These Revenues are arriving constantly, what catalogue do you have/recommend? There are some more recent catalogs, no doubt, but I still use Forbin for most of my older revenue stamps. Far too much money to buy catalogs for every darn country issuing revenues! I do have specialized catalogs for Austria (Erler), Germany (Erler), Hungary (Barefoot and another excellent reprint) and Portugal & Colonies (Berata), as well as my Canada Van Dam and Yvert France. The obligatory Barefoot are here for GB and CommonPoop. They're not like Scott, with many countries in one catalog. In fact, many are still very much incomplete. Someone else, no doubt will come by and fill in the details that I don't have. :^) Some has uploaded the entire Forbin catalog on-line. It takes a little getting used to, because some of the countries / territories are not in the order one would think. Considering the last edition was 1915, it's not a bad effort.

Thankee, Tracy and Jay.
I'm berating myself for not checking Forbin first. "Rodney" wrote in message ... | http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...to&PhotoID=252 | | ..and any idea, of who's bust is represented on the 1L blue? | | Thanks. | | | |

It is either a VERY VERY VERY V-E-R-Y young Emmanuel II or it is female. Where's the facial hair on the stamp, Blair? Here he appears on a 20 lire gold coin of 1861. http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/images/...arkbobv240.JPG VERY BIG difference between Rodney's stamp and Emmanuel II's common portrait, used on Italian postal and revenue stamps of the period. I think you need to zoom in a little closer on this issue, my friend. Tracy Barber |

I think, (biting my lip) I side with Tracy here Blair.
Is that a crown the bust is sporting? perhaps an early draft of the "Syracuse Coin" model? | | Your right hand stamp is : | | Italy (Marco di Risconti)=(Control Stamp) | Forbin #2 (1866) | | since the Kings of Italy and the Dates of their reigns we | | Not a good assumption, oh studious one - although a nice try. |

Not to get anyone's goat, with my reply, mind you - but the jump from that picture to Emmanuel II's next issue is what - maybe 30 years difference in age - in a 2 or 3 year span? They age quickly in Italy? Must be the water, I dunno. | | Your right hand stamp is : | | Italy (Marco di Risconti)=(Control Stamp) | Forbin #2 (1866) | | since the Kings of Italy and the Dates of their reigns we | | Not a good assumption, oh studious one - although a nice try.
