    Arab-Israeli War 1948 (May 5): Consular Airmail 10 fr. + Consular Postage 6 fr., the superb unused vertical pair overprinted in green, marginal from right of the one sheet overprinted by the Azriel Printing Works in (beseiged) Jerusalem, fresh and very fine with minor gum crinkling mentioned for full accuracy, unmounted og. A great rarity with just 30 pairs possible. Cert. Brun (2016) Bale (2000) = $ 7'500/Maury = € 8'750.

    Note: Just six sheets of fifty stamps of the Foreign Affairs Fiscal stamp were overprinted as above. The upper portion of the sheets of 50 were overprinted for Airmail at 10 francs, the lower portion overprinted for postage at 6 francs. Thus from the issue of 300 stamps, just 30 pairs can exist with both values se-tenant.
