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.Ausruf : 1.500 CHFZuschlag : nicht verkauftLosnr. : 4106 Bulgarien

South Bulgaria 1886: Eastern Rumelia formula card used from Tatar Pazardzhik to Sofia with perforated Official postal seal of the former South Bulgarian Government in black on white wove paper, tied by T. 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.Ausruf : 350 CHFZuschlag : 950 CHFLosnr. : 4171 Bulgarien
A souvenir of the Unification 1892 (Nov 29): Autographed note written in Bulgarian 'On the 5th Anniversary of Freedom as necessary for the well-being of the People' to commemorate the unification of Bulgaria and the establishment of the reign of Prince Ferdinand I, written and signed by Stefan Stambolov, who as Chairman of the Parliament of the Principality engineered the unification. He was assassinated in 1895 in Sofia, possibly under orders from Prince Ferdinand.

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.Ausruf : 2.000 CHFZuschlag : nicht verkauftLosnr. : 4174 Bulgarien
