1852/1868, collection of over 55 covers with diverse frankings and postmarks, the vast majority bearing 1852 issue frankings, illustrating a wide range of single, multiple, bisect, and three-colour frankings, postmarks including c.d.s., straight-line and boxed handstamps, condition somewhat mixed with faults to be expected in places, as typical of such classic material, though mostly fine and presentable, a couple of forgeries or dubious items as often seen, but many covers bear expert signatures noting Diena, Sorani, Colla, etc, with five certificates accompanying; a desirable and well-balanced lot showing greater diversity than typically encountered, ideal for the specialist.
