Telegrams, Telegraph & Telephone Stamps - The Professor Shaul Ladany Collection, Part IIGerman States BavariaTelegraph Stamps1870, 28kr. / 1fr. green, two single examples and two strips of four, of which one with part of the perforations splitted between two adhesives, all stamps punched following the norm and cancelled by blurred oval blue strikes of the telegraphic station of Haidhausen, applied on complete telegram to Ala, paying the rate corresponding to 39 words in Austrian territory and also including 2fl. 40kr. (in manuscript in blue at right) credited by the station of Ala for onward transmission to Naples. (The usage of the two highest denominations -one single 4fl 40kr. value would have covered the fees- was not allowed at this station on telegrams addressed to external European countries). Two vertical creases, one affecting one adhesive, and minor imperfections to few perforations, of no significance for this rarity. The largest recorded franking of this value, further enhanced by exhibiting the largest multiple known. One of the most significant items of this fascinating and delightful issue. Cert. Pieper.
