    108 parale, blue on horizontally laid rose paper, a magnificent large margined used example, deep impression, tied to small piece by ROMAN / MOLDOVA datestamp (1/9) struck in blue (Kiriac fig. 282). The stamp has been lifted for checking and hinged back on to the piece with the merest trace of corner bend at upper right, otherwise a truly lovely example of this stamp of impeccable provenance. A splendid and extremely rare usage with just seven confirmed examples of this stamp used in Roman, this being the only example on piece and, without doubt, being the finest known. Illustrated in Heimbüchler I on page 411. Signed WHC (Warren H. Colson). Cert. Heimbüchler (2015) Mi = € 15'000.

    Provenance: Collection Arthur Hind (Jan 1935), lot 383; Collection Alfred H. Caspary (Nov 1957), lot 364.
