Auction: 26015 - "The Treasure of the Eagles" Collection of Albania - Part I
Lot: 3117

(x) First Independent Albania (1912-1914)
Third Issue
1913, 10pa. on 20pa. rose, an extraordinary example featuring a very scarce "10" double and inverted surcharge, further combined with an inverted eagle overprint, very lightly mounted with original gum. The relatively light impression of the overprint allows the surcharge variety to be clearly displayed. Minor gum spots confined to the perforations at right, and a few irregular perforations as often encountered, of no significance for this rarity. An extremely rare triple variety for this stamp, probably unique. Michel 16 (var).

provenance: Minister Lef Nosi
