1865: Cuza 2 pa. orange on laid paper, a remarkable horizontal strip of five, each stamp having been roughly separated by vertical tears largely in the margins and rejoined, all cancelled by VASLUI datestamps (3/12) in black (Kiriac fig. 420).

1865: Cuza 5 pa. blue on white wove paper, two large margined horizontal pairs used on cover (lined paper) to Ismail tied by scarce RENI datestamps (3/3) struck in blue (Kiriac fig. 381) with repeated information strike at right.

One adhesive with just the tiniest trace of surface scrape mentioned for accuracy and the cover with some bends and soiling but otherwise of great scarcity - none of the great collections of the past containing an example used from Reni. Cert. Heimbüchler (2018). (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image)

However the format is important with the twenty stamps in the last two vertical columns beneath the blank spaces being Transfer Types: 1-2 / 4-5 repeated to the lower right corner block of four which is Transfer Types 3-3 / 6-6. Large part and mostly unmounted og. An extraordinary full sheet Mi = € 8'000. (Image 1) (Image)
