    "Cavallini di Sardegna" 1827 (6 July): Definitive issue 15 c. embossed, used abroad from Geneva to Evian, the embossing is strong and distinct, the sheet is intact with message on three pages, fresh for the period, a very fine and scarce usage from Switzerland to upper Savoy, Cert. Sorani (1999) Sassone = € 1'800 for a regular use.rnNote: Presumably the only known 'Cavallini' cover used abroad including private transport for the Swiss part of the journey, from Geneva to the Sardinian border. In the Corinphila sale 173 (April 2012), lot 499, another cover from the same correspondence, but in that case from Evian to Geneva was sold. In some way the earliest usage of a 'postage stamp' in Switzerland.
