Arab-Israeli War 1948 (May): Essay for the Surcharge, Forreign Affairs Fiscal overprinted (inverted) "JERUSALEM / Postes Francaises / 6 frs." in black (the 150 issued stamps bore a green overprint) with GRATIS not erased by black bar, somewhat crinkled and perfs. slightly bent, these faults largely due to the fact that the stamp was mounted within cellophane for 'protection' and left in a bank vault for too long; also with pinhole where attached for inspection by the Consul, but with full unmounted og. An extraordinary modern rarity - mentioned in Maury but unpriced. Unique ('Seule pièce connue à ce jour'). Cert. Brun (2016).
Note: The issue was authorised by the French Consul, Mr. René Neuville.Ausruf : 2.000 CHFZuschlag : 4.600 CHF
