    Falso dell'epoca 1859/61: 2 gr. 'violetto lilliaceo', type I, a fresh and fine single example with large to huge margins in a deep vivid shade, tied by boxed ANNULLATO of Napoli, with perfect "S.GERMANO 22 LUG. 1860" despatch cds in red alongside on cover to Caserta. The falso had been already used, showing traces of another ANNULATO strike. An exceptional item with a usage outside Napoli and in addition a re-use of a falso, thus a double fraud of the postal administration. Cert. A. Diena (1964) Sassone = € 7'000.
