    1882: 50 st. blue and rose, 25 st. blue and pale blue, a vertical pair 10 st. rose and pale rose and six 5 st. green and pale green of which there are two pairs on the reverse, used on 1886 registered letter from Pazardijk (Feb 2) to Budapest, Hungary. The letter is franked at the quadruple foreign weight rate plus 25 st. registration fee. Straight line registration handstamp is applied on the front. The letter is somewhat aged, but the stamps are in good condition bearing in mind the high weight of the original letter. A very rare item, only three 'four colour' frankings with high values are recorded. Opinions Todd AEIP (2015) and Penev (2021). Excollection John Du Pont.
