    Guadalajara 1867: First printing 4 r. black on rose medium wove paper and Second printing 2 r. black on green thin quadrille paper, each bisected (and each showing the 'Franco' part of the stamp) and used to pay the 3 reales rate on 1867 cover from Ciudad Guzman to Guadalajara, tied by circular handstamp "Franco en C. Guzman" in black (Schatzkes fig. 342). Both stamps struck underneath with 'Falso / Fake' in red by handstamp but this is not the case. Only three bisected usages are known to exist. A rarity. Cert. Mepsi (1994).
