    1/2 gr. orange (2), one from 1st, one from 2nd plate, in addition 1 gr. green-darkolive, 3rd plate, all on Naples paper, tied by three strikes of framed handstamp to letter from Giarra to Messina. The two 1/2 gr. stamp were reused to defraud the post in the office of Giarre and show therefore some small imperfections, a rare letter with fine postal history content, impressive due to the use of 1/2 gr. from different plates. Certificates Enzo Diena (1987) and Raybaudi (1994) Sassone = EUR 34'400.
