    Puno 1881/82: Provisional issues on 1882 large cover front to Juli with Feb 1881 "Puno / 17 / M" circular overprint in violet on Arequipa Provisional 10 c. blue, imperforate, overprinted in black or without the original 1881-1882 overprint, all tied by "PUNO / PRAL" datestamps (Jan 22) in black. A somewhat contentious cover with lengthy detailed explanation from Gabriel O. Bustamente detailing the stamps believed to be postal forgeries, those used late and those believed genuine all on the same cover. A most interesting and rare piece, possibly the most important cover of all Peruvian Provisional issues!. Cert. Gabriel O. Bustamente (1966).
