    Cordoba 1858: 5 c. blue on horizontally laid paper, a used example unfortunately touched on three sides but with large margin at right cancelled in manuscript (opinion Maria Brettl) and a very fine used example with frame lines at top and at right, tied to 1864 entire letter by manuscript pen-cross in blue-black ink. A fine example of this rare usage but in the opinion of Maria Brettl and ourselves, the genuine stamp probably does not belong to the cover.
