    Posta Galbina 1864: Cover front to Jassy struck with the unique octagonal framed handstamp made by the Galbina Postmaster G. Rezmeritá, showing Post Horse and "GR" Postmaster's initials and "POSTA GALBINU-1864", struck in violet with manuscript "Cu porto" alongside (an insight as to how the private Postmaster's linked with the nascent postal system) and rate "30" parale in red crayon. Slight file hole in centre not greatly detracting from the appearance of this rarity. With comments on this item from Dragomir Kiriac and Dr. L. N. Tripcovici. The sole recorded example in private hands. See Kiriac Dragomir. Illustrated in Edition d'Or on page 93. Cert. Heimbüchler (2010). Provenance: Collection Edouard Cohen.
