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! -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk Sent using RISCOS using VirtualAcorn-SA running on a PC .... Documentation is for people who can't read. |

I have acquired an interesting mint block of 4 postage due stamps from the
Italian Occupation of Trento and Trieste. http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/po/occaust/ttd2c.jpg 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? -- Tony Clayton |

The value and overprint were not printed properly and are therefore 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)! -- Tony Clayton |
