    1843: 30 reis grey-black, Intermediate Impression, a fine large margined example sharing small piece with 1845  Inclinado 60 r. grey-black tied by bold strike of framed ALDEIA DA PEDRA handstamp (Ayres fig. 1192) struck well in pale blue. Illustrated in Taveira 'The Slanted Numerals Handbook' on page 414 and in 'Carimbos sobre os olhos-de-boi' by H. B. Ferreira on page 8. Possibly cleaned but a famous and most attractive combination piece in outstanding quality - in our opinion the finest of all of the few recorded Bulls Eye combination usages. Signed Calves.

Caspary, June 1958, lot 499.rn                   Collection Reinhold Koester, Corinphila sale 70, March 1984, lot 4327.rn                   Collection Everaldo Santos, March 2001, lot 12.rn                   Collection Luis Alemany, Corinphila sale 181, June 2013, lot 221.rnrnNote: This piece, in common with the other eight recorded first and second issue combination usages (three are not lsted by Taveira in 'Slanted Numerals Handbook', all three ex the José Joacquim Lima Silva Muniz De Aragao collection, Corinphila sale 42, January 1955, lots 6150, 6168 and 6197) has always been contentious. The late Paulo Comelli believed this piece was 'bad' due to the colour of the postmark being in a pale blue. However the description in the Caspary sale states the 30 reis to be 'toned' and this describer believes the pale colour of the postmark is probably due to a slight bleaching when the piece was cleaned by a previous owner.
