    4 bani deep blue, four examples used on magnificent 1871 cover from Bucharest to Madame Stourdza at Skiéa, Tirgu-Frumos; the adhesives in two horizontal pairs (Transfer Types 5-6 and 1-2) with left hand pair just touched into outer frame-line at top and all tied by "Bucuresci" datestamps (Feb 20) in black. Framed "P.D." at lower right and reverse with "Tirgu Frumos" arrival cds (24/2) in black. A wonderful cover and a rare over-franking: the rate at this time was 10 bani per ½ ounce (decree of October 3/15, 1870); however 6 bani was not a great deal of money to the rich 'boyar' Stourdza family: for a further example of this over-payment see lot 5155 in the "Cornelia" sale, Corinphila 149, Feb 2007. Illustrated in Edition d'Or on page 120 and in Handbook II on page 206. Cert. Heimbüchler (2009).
