    1911: 50 st. orange brown & black, a magnificent used example with "Centre Inverted" variety, of excellent centering and fresh colour, lightly cancelled by 'Philippopel' datestamp (June 7, 1913 as most known examples are) in black. Superb and an extremely rare stamp. Signed Karaivanoff. Cert. Karaivanoff. (1949) Scott 97a = $ 2'700/Gi. 167a = £ 7'000/Mi = EUR 7'500.

    Note: The error occurred as the bi-coloured stamp was printed first in one colour and then passed through the printer again for the second. The error passed un-noticed for between five to seven years, the first example being discovered only in 1918 by Nicola Kochanov in Sofia. All the known examples are in used condition with just one sheet sold in Plovdiv (Phlippopel). Probably no more than 20 examples exist.

    1937 (Oct 3): The "Ministerium" Miniature Sheet, showing Boris III 2 leva red brown with black imprint at base '3 October 1937'. A fresh and very fine mint example of this rare sheet, slight horizontal bend at base where the sheet was not gummed below the black overprint, this does not affect the frontal appearance of a very rare sheet with full unmounted original gum - a mere 20 examples were printed thus.

    Note: The sheet actually measures 78 x 110 mm., the measurement in Michel being erroneous, for reference see also Corinphila sale 133, June 2002, lot 1402.
