1866 (May 31): Group of two letter fronts from the same correspondence, sent insured with values of 2'000 lire and 3'000 lire from Barletta to Napoli on the same day, bearing a combination of 1863 DLR 10 c. ochre-yellow, 30 c. brown (single, pair & strip of three) and a pair of 40 c. rose-carmine on one front; and 30 c. brown with 40 c. rose carmine (three single adhesives, a horizontal strip of three and a strip of four; one stamp with file fold) on the other front, resulting in total frankings of 270 c. and 430 c., respectively. The adhesives were tied by BARLETTA cds's to the letters, each with ASSICURATA handstamp alongside. These fronts present the largest known frankings of the 30 centesimi and the 40 centesimi with date postmarks, an impressive and most interesting duo. Certs. Sorani (1996), Serra (2005), Zanaria (2005).rnNote: Both letters were sent separately from the same sender to the same receiver at the same day, as the maximum value which could be insured at that time was only 3'000 lire. The frankings are correct with twice 20 c. for the postage of a 18 gr. cover, 30 c. registration fee and 20 times 20 c. insurance fee for the insured value of 2'000 lire of the first letter, in total 270 centesimi. For the second letter the total fee was five times 20 c. for the postage of a 43 gr. cover, 30 c. registration fee and 30 times 20 c. insurance fee for the insured value of 3'000 lire, in total 430 centesimi.1 / 2Ausruf : 2.500,00 CHFZuschlag : 2.500,00 CHF -
