    1866: Numerals 5 c. blue, two fine examples with the normal irregular perforation, together with France Napoléon laureated 80 c. on cover to Valencia, all three adhesives tied by light framed PD. Reverse with "P. TRANSATLANTICO 25 / 1 73" datestamp in violet struck on incoming shipmail in Lisbon as well as BADAJOZ transit cds. Taxed in Spain with "1 PESETAS." due handstamp in blue. Strong toning and horizontal crease well away from the franking, nevertheless a most interesting item with French vessel to Portugal and from there to its destination in Spain.rnNote: The colour of the TRANSATLANTICO datestamp gives an indication which shipping company brought the cover to Portugal. Between 1860 and 1873, the Messageries Maritimes covers got this strike in violet.
