    Serbia / Russo-Turkish War 1878 (March 5): Serbian folded Military formula letter-card printed on blue stock, used from Vrania (Serbian Vranje) to Nish, south Serbia and struck with MILITARY POST / SHUMADIJA CORPS datestamp (5/III) in black. Extremely scarce - no other mail from Bulgarian South-East Serbia has been recorded thus far.

    Note: Serbia entered the Russo-Turkish War in late 1877 and the Serbian Shumadija Corps occupied Vrania on January 31, 1878. The Treaty of San Stefano (Feb 19 julian / March 3, 1879 gregorian), consequently assigned a strip of south east Serbia, including the towns of Pirot and Vrania, to Bulgaria. The Serbs evacuated Vrania, but in March 1879 the Shumadija Corps re-occupied the area. The Bulgarians were to lose this territory under the provisions of the Treaty of Berlin in July, 1879.

    5 centimes black and pale orange-yellow, second order, in a bright shade, a mint block of six (3 x 2), showing stamp 3 and 6 Type II with 'Dot over Lion's Tongue', fresh colour and extremely fine, an important multiple demonstrating that the plates were altered as Type II usually occurs only in the top right stamp of the top right hand pane, the alteration in cliches possibly due to the later printing of the 50 c. which was eventually issued in July 1879. The sole recorded multiple showing this setting I-I-II / I-I-II, with two examples of Type II within a mixed cliche block, fresh and very fine, large part og. A rarity.

    Note: The proving multiple for the second printing order, the first order shows just the one stamp of Type II within the pane, the second appears to have mixed types as above and the third order (placed on May 21, 1880) only shows Type II stamps.
