    Usage of Italian stamps as precursors in San Marino 1876 (July 2): Double rate Envelope from San Marino to Firenze, bearing 1867 Torino printing 20 c. blue in a horizontal pair, cancelled in transit by superb bold strike of RIMINI straight line prephilatelic handstamp in black originating from the Papal times, REBUBBLICA DI S. MARINO cds in blue alongside. Reverse with Rimini transit and Firenze arrival cds in black of the next day. Some edge wear and minor toning do not distract from the rarity of this combination and the attractiveness of this amazing cover. Cert. Bottacchi (2002).rnReference: Displayed and discussed in Colla & Sirotti - Repubblica di San Marino dall'Epoca Napoleonica al 1892 Storia Postale, on page 146.
