EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE JEFFERSON DAVIS MEDALLION PATRIOTIC DESIGN WITH BICOLORED FLAGS. THE USE OF THE JEFFERSON DAVIS GENERAL ISSUE ON ANY TYPE OF DAVIS MEDALLION COVER IS ALSO QUITE UNUSUAL. IN OUR OPINION, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CONFEDERATE PATRIOTIC COVERS IN EXISTENCE.
We record few examples of this red and blue Davis Medallion design. The first General Issue with President Davis is also rarely found on a Davis Medallion cover. Most of the Davis Medallion covers were used prior to release of the General Issue.
From our Sale 337, which featured one of the finest collections of Confederate Patriotics ever offered. Also ex Dr. Graves and Dr. Green (Image)
VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE JEFFERSON DAVIS MEDALLION PATRIOTIC DESIGN WITHOUT THE ALLEGORICAL BACKGROUND SCENE, AND FRANKED WITH THE 5-CENT GREEN JEFFERSON DAVIS GENERAL ISSUE.
This design is one of the rarest of the Jefferson Davis Medallion Patriotics. It has 11 stars in both the flags and the sunburst above "Confederate States of America." It omits the bridge, cannon, train, steamboat and cotton bale allegorical scene below the medallion, which is found on most of the other Davis designs.

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT BLUE LITHOGRAPH ON A JEFFERSON DAVIS MEDALLION PATRIOTIC COVER.
The 10c Blue Lithograph is very rare on a Davis Medallion cover. There are probably fewer than five in existence. (Image)
VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THIS 7-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG "SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER" PATRIOTIC DESIGN. A WONDERFUL RARITY.
The Southern Literary Messenger was a periodical published in Richmond from 1834 to 1864. Each issue contained poetry, fiction, nonfiction, reviews, and historical notes.
Ex Fuller and Powell. With 1988 C.S.A. certificate (Image)
VERY FINE. THIS VERSION OF THE BASIC CONFEDERATE 7-STAR FLAG DESIGN WITH "C.S.A." IS CONSIDERABLY RARER THAN OTHER VARIETIES.
The few examples of this rare "C.S.A." flag design we were able to locate were used from Virginia post offices. The last we offered was a handstamped "Paid" use from the same correspondence as the cover offered here (ex Dr. Brandon).
Ex Weatherly where acquired by the Kilbournes in Siegel Sale 420 (Image)
FRESH AND EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL 9-STAR CONFEDERATE FLAG COVER AND LETTERSHEET MATCHED PAIR -- SHOWING BOTH STYLES OF THE F9-2 STAR SIZES.
The ninth star represents the admission of Arkansas, which was followed only three days later by North Carolina. Due to the short time period there were fewer 9-Star Confederate Patriotic designs produced than any other flag designs (7 thru 13 stars). Surviving examples are rare, and we believe the lettersheets are even rarer than the covers. (Image)
