More Italian varieties

I have recently acquired some more interesting items
that have been uploaded on to my website.

The first two are varieties:

http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/po/occaust/vg16k.jpg

Italian Occupation of Venezia Giulia 3 kronen carmine
on granite paper - a scarce stamp in itself but
this one has no stop after 18 (acquired exceedingly cheaply
due to an error in the auction description which said 1 krone)

http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/po/occaust/de1b.jpg

A block of 4 of the una corona overprint of Italian Occupation
of Dalmatia, one of which has the a of una in a much smaller typeface.

http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/po/occaust/de2.jpg

An unissued Express stamp of Dalmatia that had the incorrect description
of value Lire 1,20 di corana (It should have been 1,20 Corona)

http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/cln/index.html

I have added two of the CLN issues of Valle Bormida to this page.

Enjoy!

I have acquired an interesting mint block of 4 postage due stamps from the
Italian Occupation
of Trento and Trieste.

Both Sassone (Segnatasse 2c) and Gibbons (D77a) describe this as inverted
figures of value and surcharge.

Would you rather describe it as having an inverted frame?
Which way up would you mount it?

Since these stamps passed through the press 3 times,
the frame first, value second and the opt. third , then I
would suggest that the frame was not inverted.
The value and overprint were not printed properly and
are therefore inverted.

That is how I feel it should be, and how it is mounted in my collection.

It is nice to acquire such a nice piece for less than 4% of its catalogue
value
(and no, you doubters, it IS genuine; it was just misdescribed)!
