    Croce di S. Andrea 1852 (Dec. 9): Carta a mano 10 c. black type Ia with complete St. Andrew's Cross on amazing sheet margin below the stamp (34 mm), this adhesive with fresh colour and large even margins all round in combination with Carta a mano 5 c. orange type Ia, another fine and fresh example. Both adhesives tied by superb strikes of framed one line "MILANO: 9 - 12 : 52" datestamp on entire letter to Varese, reverse with arrival datestamp of the next day. The 10 centesimi adhesive with horizontal file fold below, slightly ironed out with nearly no impact on the overlying stamp; also minor pre-use thin on reverse of sheet margin below the Cross, just mentioned for accuracy, without any importance for this item presenting the only 10 c. with St. Andrew's Cross below on cover. A unique and extremely desirable cover for a high-end collection of Lombardo-Veneto or the Old Italian States. Signed Giorgio Colla; group cert.
