1858: Bull's Head 54 parale blue on light green horizontally laid paper, a fresh and fine example with good to large margins all around, cancelled 'B...MOL...' M1 cds in light blue. Minor imperfections, with a light thin and a tiny crease mentioned for accuracy, a most attractive example with the cancellation leaving most of the design free. Unrecorded in Heimbüchler's census of 2007, the stamp is cancelled either BAKEU or BERLAD, either town with only 15 examples recorded. Since all the items known from Bakeu are cut round, it is likely that the stamp was cancelled at Berlad. Signed Thier, Th. Lemaire; cert. Gmach BPP (2019) Mi = € 7'000 (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
