    1855: 5c. red-brown on blued paper, large watermark, second London print, horizontal strip of eight from the upper sheet margin, displaying a significant misalignment between the 7th and 8th stamp. The strip has exceptional margins all round, just a minor scissor cut into the bottom left of the third stamp and the sheet watermark CORREOS at the top. It is affixed to a large fragment of a letter from the well known Jagerschmidt VALPARAISO correspondence. With such large margins an exceptional piece, most other strips of eight have inferior margins.
