    1863 (March 2): Entire letter from Napoli to Cosenza, bearing 1863 Tipo Sardegna 15 c. dark-blue, a fine and fresh adhesive, cancelled with crossed pen strokes, a "NAPOLI SUCCURSALE" cds alongside. First taxed with '3' decimi, this taxation later erased. Reverse with COSENZA arrival cds from the next day. An appealing item full of postal history. Signed Raybaudi.rnNote: This issue was first valuable only for two months until the end of February, but at the beginning of March it was decided to prolong its period of use until end of 1863. One can find letters despatched on March 2/3, 1863 which had been first taxed with double the deficieny, then detaxed. After March 3, the stamp could be used without problem.
