The stamp is cancelled by the elusive blue FRANCO HUCHII marking, alongside the blue HUSCH MOLDOVA postmark dated 16 January. According to the research of Kiriac Dragomir, only 1,545 stamps of this value were used at Husi, and the FRANCO marking came into use after December 1859. Covers bearing stamps cancelled by this marking are rare. We haven't been able to locate another example franked solely with the 40 parale; the couple of covers we have recorded bear 80 parale stamps. The stamp has clear margins on all sides and is in generally fine condition. The cover shows signs of ageing, some toning and several creases. Cert. Cherata AIEP (2026).

An exceptional combination of a scarce stamp and a rare cancellation. According to the research of Kiriac Dragomir, only 570 stamps were used at Ismail. Furthermore, the 80 parale on bluish paper originates from the April 1861 printing, which comprised only 8,000 stamps, and not all were on bluish paper. Not all stamps used at Ismail received the M3 FRANCO cancellation; some were cancelled instead by the M2 “large Moldova” postmarks. The combination of these three factors makes the present item a likely unique rarity, combining an elusive stamp with a rare postal marking. The stamp has good margins on all sides and is in very fine condition. Signed Thier, R. Calves and Scheller. Cert. Cherata AIEP (2026).

The scarce 80 parale has good to very large margins and is in very fine condition. The 40 parale is cut into at the top and shows some paper faults. The 80 parale originates from the April 1861 printing, which comprised only 8,000 stamps. The combination of the 80 and 40 parale values is scarce, corresponding to the rate for an ordinary letter in the third weight step. Combined with the scarce 80 parale on deep blue paper, this makes an attractive and rare combination. General final condition, rare. Cert.

CHF 2,000 Currently (SAN)...CHF 2,000.00 Closing..Dec-09, 04:30 AM 60687 7ay 1858 80 parale red on thin wove paper, a fresh and superb example with large margins, cancelled by a crisp black FRANCO VASLUI marking, on an outer letter sheet (cover) of a registered letter in the first weight step, sent on 17 February 1862 from Vaslui to Bucharest. The reverse bears the arrival marking BUCAREST 23/2. The arrival postmark was retouched in January 1862, when the word WALACHEI at the base was removed. Although Moldavia and Wallachia had united politically in 1859, their postal administrations were not unified until May 1862. So essentially this cover is sent abroad, as it was paid only to the border at Focsani, and the recipient in Bucharest having to pay the Wallachian fee. Such mailings are scarce, and examples rarely appear on the market. This may be the only recorded cover from Vaslui to Wallachia, making it an important rarity of Moldavian postal history. A rare item in very fine condition. Certificate: Heimbüchler (2015). Historical note: The letter was addressed to Barbu Catargiu (1807–1862) ( "To the Minister of the Interior of Romania, Barbu Catargiu, Bucharest"), Minister of the Interior and the first Prime Minister of the united Romanian government in 1862. A leading conservative statesman, he was assassinated in Bucharest on 8 June 1862 amid intense political tensions over agrarian reform.

No arrival marking is present. The stamp is cancelled by a complete strike of the blue BERLAD MOLDOVA postmark. It shows a few tiny pinholes, apparently made before the stamp was affixed to the cover; otherwise, it is in fine to very fine condition. Signed R. Calves and Heimbüchler.
