    5 stotinki deep rose & rose, Error of Colour, a fresh mint example of excellent colour with large part og. An exceptional example of this great rarity in superb quality. Signed E. Diena Scott 13a = $ 3'000/Mi = € 3'600.

    Note: The error was discovered as early as October 1886, the first dated example however being November 13, 1886, with examples known used from both Sofia and Varna. As examples considered genuine are not from the same plate position these stamps are not likely to be from cliches misplaced in the sheets of 5 stotinki stamps, so it is eminently possible that the Sofia and Varna finds may represent two different error sheets.

    South Bulgaria 1885: Stampless Military concession cover from Plovdiv to Turnovo Seimen struck at right with two circular Military cachets, one of the Plovdiv Military Command and the other of the Military Command Supply Office, struck with PHILIPPOPLE datestamp (II/XI) in black. Some graffiti at lower left and creased in centre but of great scarcity. South Bulgarian Troops were awaiting an attack from Ottoman Turks which, in the event, never materialised. A very rare cover.

    Note: In September 1885 Nationalists mounted a coup in Eastern Roumelia and united their country with Bulgaria. Milan Obrenoviv IV of Serbia declared War on Bulgaria three days after this cover was mailed. The Serbs were defeated by Alexander I at the Battle of Slivnitsa three days later, on November 17-19, 1885.

A remarkable cover from the successful War against the Serbian Army, mailed to Bulgarian occupied Serbia.

    Note: The Treaty of Bucharest (March 3, 1886), formally concluded the War and the boundaries between the two countries reverted to those of pre-War lines, however Bulgaria remained the stronger after the re-unification with Eastern Roumelia.

PAZARDJIK datestamp (13/XI/86) in black. The seal was actually used as a 'Postal Fraud' and apparently accepted (as no tax was raised), however the card's message is private, dealing with the despatch of 200 grams of fish roe for a requested price of 'eight grush (Ottoman piastres) in our money', presumably indicating that the sender did not wish for payment in the recently re-introduced Bulgarian currency. The card with a vertical repaired crease but very rare. Signed Holcombe.

    1886/87: Imperforate Proof pair on soft thin white wove paper, without value tablets, printed in the colour of the first issue 10 centimes / stotinki black & shades of green, showing the '*' in corners as used for the design of the 1879 1 franc and 1886 1 leva value, a fresh and fine pair.

    Note: This and the following two lots were probably printed in Vienna and ordered by the government of Stefan Stambolov after the contract for the Russian printed stamps was terminated. The colours are those of the first two issues. The unification of North and South of Bulgaria generated much political intrigue leading to the forced abdication of Prince Alexander, a split between Bulgaria and Russia and the eventual choice of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as Prince of Bulgaria on August 2, 1887. There is some conjecture as to the date of these Proofs, whether they be for 1879 or as late as 1886, however we offer them where they were placed in Earl Galitz's Exhibit.
