Los-Nr. 404

1863: Postage Due 5 pi. black on brown thin paper, a superb 'head to head' vertical tête-bêche pair, with error of Control ban at base (in red instead of blue), huge margins all round and tied to cover to Deraliye by neat strikes of the dotted 'Battal' in black. Front of cover marked 'Erreur' in manuscript ink. An extremely rare cover. Cert. Isfila (2014).
