 1870, 1r rose, block of 36 (4x9) from the upper left corner of the sheet, positions 1-9 / 11-19 / 21-29 / 31-39, good colour and well margined with full original gum being abundant and cracked, and not affected by the typical
toning effect found in other multiples, small surface rubbing impinging on four stamps not detracting; a fresh and very difficult multiple, of even more significance with original gum (an exceedingly scarce feature); most of the remaining unsold
sheets of this stamp were used to be surcharged for the 1878 and 1884 issues.(Image 1)

 1870, 1r rose, complete sheet of 100, showing an uneven inking of the plate, featuring the major "1:eal" constant variety in the "R" of "Real" in position 20, without gum, well margined except at bottom right, some wrinkles
caused by the removed gum and imperfections at right, closed tear in centre between three stamps and barely affecting a fourth, plus some minor faults at right to be expected and small tear at top; one of the extremely few complete sheets recorded,
with most of the remaining unsold sheets of this stamp being used to be surcharged for the 1878 and 1884 issues.(Image 1)

 1870, 1r rose, clear to mostly large margins, tied by "Asunción/1871 4 May/R.P." cds in blue to cover to Paraná (Argentina), with receiving cds on reverse; two tiny surface scuffs in the stamp of little significance as the
majority of items known have faults; an attractive example of the very restricted group of genuine covers -fewer than fifteen- bearing this stamp, one of the difficult "Number One" stamps in worldwide postal history.(Image 1)

 1857, 1r blue on bluish paper, a magnificent block of four, sharp impression and brilliant colour, large balanced margins on all sides, large part original gum, small thin spot confined to top right; a highly desirable and
extremely rare multiple -believed to be fewer than five recorded- of this charismatic stamp which is graced by a design of great aesthetic taste.
Note: The 1r and 2r were engraved by William Salter and printed in sheets of 160 (16x10) by Perkins, Bacon & Petch in 1847 and 1848. The stamps were produced for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company and introduced to pre-pay mail carried by PSNC
steamers, but they were never used for this purpose. In 1851, the General Postmaster of Peru, José Dávila Condemarín, proposed postage stamps to be introduced in the country, but only in 1856 he was able to persuade the Government to use them,
although the local production of stamps was not approved until 1857 and the first stamps were available in May 1858. Previously the General Postmaster had decided to make an experiment to check how the system would work in 1857-58, by primarily
obtaining the available stamps of the PSNC through its manager Jorge Petrie, who gratuitously provide the stamps to use them for a pre-paid trial postal service between Lima, Callao and Chorillos. During the period of storage of ten years from 1847
to 1857 at the PSNC offices at the port of Callao, and according to a decree of 27.11.1859, many of the sheets were stuck to each other probably due to the humidity. A third invoice of stamps, including the presumably largest quantity printed, was
never sent to the PSNC and was in its majority damaged by a fire in the premises of Perkins, Bacon & Petch in London; furthermore the remaining unsold stamps in Peru were incinerated on order of the Peruvian Government on 15.12.1860. According to the
description in the Peyton collection at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, it is stated that certainly all the blocks known are from the file records of the printers Perkins, Bacon & Petch: "they disposed of a damaged sheet after a fire" and
it is thought that they destroyed all the rest. Indeed the multiples which have survived are very few, and blocks are exceedingly rare.

 1857, 2r red on bluish paper, a phenomenal mint block of four, clear to mainly wide margins, detailed impression and warm rich colour, with large part original gum couple of clear spots through the light from the reverse were
the gum is completely missing; an extremely rare multiple with, according to our knowledge, fewer than five recorded, and which was lacking in some of the renowned collection of Peru sold in the past (as a matter of fact the Julio Lugón Badaracco
collection had only one block of four of the 2r as the largest he could find, and it did not include any block for the 1r blue); cert. Pascal Behr (2008).(Image
