    1869: 10 bani indigo & red, used block of six (Transfer Types 2-3-4/2-3-4), of excellent colour with good margins on three sides, just touched at upper right and with insignificant scissor cut in margin only between the first and second stamps, neatly cancelled by BUCURESTI datestamps (3/2) in black (Kiriac fig. 423). An extremely rare multiple of exquisite appearance. Ilustrated in Edition D'Or vol XII on page 123. Certificate Heimbüchler (2010).
    Note: It is entirely plausible that this block came from the same sheet as the block of eight illustrated in Handbook II on page 233, which was used on the same day with the same datestamp.
    Provenance: Collection Georg Matheescu (October 1976), lot 2388.
