    1851 (July): 1 cr. in the rare shade 'carminio violaceo su azzuro', a superb horizontal strip of three with good to enormous margins all round incl. parts of a neighbouring stamp, tied by 'a ragno' mute obliterator with "LUCCA 6 AGO. 1851" despatch cds (Sassone = 10 punti) alongside, on cover directed to Parma. Reverse with PARMA arrival cds (Aug 9). An appealing item with an interesting shade and postal history, the franking paying the LEGA rate to the border with the Ducato di Parma, the residual journey taxed. Signed A.
