    1872: 1 peseta orange-yellow, single example used with 1866 Llama 10 c. red on 20 c. violet postal stationery envelope, sent registered from Pasco to Lima cancelled by bold PASCO / PRAL datestamps (Jan 2, 1877) in black. Superb three line PASCO / CERTIFICACION / FRANCA at left in black and reverse with Lima arrival cds (Jan 5) in blue and docketing of receipt on back of cover and internally. A rarity - registered receipted covers were returned to the P.O. of origin and were archived for one year and then were meant to be destroyed - this item obviously escaping from the incineration. Sensibly opened for Exhibit display, a spectacular 'three issue' combination usage. Cert. Holcombe (1999).rnProvenance: Collection G. Lamy; Collection 'Crown Point', Corinphila sale 116, Oct. 1999, lot 2551.
