    5 st. deep rose & rose, Error of Colour, a fine example with a Plate Flaw in the upper margin (above letter 'C') and on the 'E' of Bulgarian 'Five' in inner frame, used in combination with 10 st. deep rose & pale rose pair and single 25 st. deep blue & blue all tied by SOPHIA datestamps (12/IV) in black to registered cover to Senf in Leipzig. Registration cachet at right and reverse with 'Tsaribrod' transit cds (12/IV), Pirot (Serbia) cds of same day and Belgrade Railway Station cds alongside Leipzig arrival cds (25/4, gregorian). Ridculous blue crayon arrow points to error with file folds away from the error, however, a very rare cover. Signed Holcombe.

    Note: A proving cover that the 5 stotinki Error of Colour was not a cliche error.

    Provenance: Corinphila sale 72 (Sept 1985), lot 4341.
