    1 d. blue-green, diagonally bisected on 1869 cover from Lima to Callao well tied by COMPANIA DE LOS FERROCARRILES DE LIMA datestamp (Lamy & Rinck fig. 100) in black (June 15). Just ten covers bearing the 1 dinero green bisect are recorded, with just four recorded with the Railway Company cancellation. A very rare and fine cover. Signed Holcombe. Cert. Moorhouse (2013)

    Note: Whilst there was perhaps no shortage of the 1 dinero green at this date, it is probable that the rate reduction to 5 centavos for the Railway route from Lima to Callao was adopted by the Railway Company who cancelled this cover without the Post Office's knowledge. Illustrated in 'El Servicio Postal y Filatelico en el Peru' by Carlos N. Gonzales on page 172. Ex Eitner, Corinphila sale 158, June 2009 (lot 4193).

    20 c. brown used in combination with 1876 10 c. green and diagonally bisected 10 c. green on 1876 cover to Genova, Italy endorsed at top 'via la Alemania via Inglaterra' and tied by 'Lima-Principal' datestamps (Dec 13) in black. Some ageing on perforations but a remarkable cover carried at 34 centavos rate: the 1876 10 c. bisect not being an authorised usage. Reverse confirming the route with 'Verviers/Coeln' T.P.O.

    Note: The rate via Hamburg to Italy was 29 centavos (Convention of March 1, 1875). This cover travelled via Cologne and should have been charged 34 centavos and is thus correctly franked but 1 centavo overpaid.
