    1859: 2 gr. in the very rare shade 'azzuro smorto' from plate II, a fine and fresh example from position 98, good to huge margins, tied by clear 'ferro di cavallo' handstamp, clear oval CATANIA handstamp alongside, on cover to Leonforte, internally dated 'April 11, 59'. Lightest horizontal filing fold well away from the adhesive and cancellation, a clean and appealing cover with this elusive shade. Cert. Colla (2022) Sassone = € 12'000.
