Description
Inverted Center Emanuele Filiberto. In 1928, at the Post Office in the province of Bologna one sheet of 50 was sold of this stamp with inverted center. Most of the known copies are used as well as some without gum (probably from letters not cancelled). Only two copies with full original gum are known to exist. This is considered the best one, very fresh and with very light trace of a hinge. Sass. # 228a In €250.000. Certs. Sorani & Colla as well as signed by A. Diena. The Rarest Stamp of the Italian Kingdom
