1852-1859 5c to 1 Lira Collection on Album Pages, with 46 stamps on 3 pages, includes a #7 (fresh with gum but slightly cut into outer frameline). 16 stamps are unused, with 11 having no gum (these with much lower c.v. per Scott Classic). Five items were not counted, two identified as forgeries, two which we could not confirm and a #12a in light grey (a proof?). A nice group for study or continuation. As usual, only a minority have 4 full margins. (Image)
