    Usage of Ducal adhesives during the second period of the Governo Provvisorio, 1859 (July 26) : 1852 10 c. black on white in combination with 1857 15 c. vermillion, two fine and fresh single examples with good to huge margins in vivid shades, tied by PARMA cds to cover directed to Comacchio, framed "FRANCO BOLLO INSUFFICIENTE" alongside, reverse with FERRARA transit cds. Sideflaps missing, nevertheless a most interesting cover few days before the Ducal adhesives were invalidated at the end of July 1859, signed Bela Szekula, Luzern; cert. E. Diena (1985) Sassone = € 55'000.rnrnNote: Underpaid cover franked with 25 centesimi for up to 20 miles (=150 km). Comacchio was more than 150 km away from Parma and a rate of 40 centesimi would have been correct. However, the cover was not taxed.
