lot # 3134 - europa bulgarien
1882: 50 st. blue and rose, diagonally bisected on cover from Plovdiv to Constantinople. The Stamboul arrival cancel dated June 22, 1890, the date on the despatch is somewhat unclear. According to our records there are two further copies of this bisect in existence on cover, which also eminate from Plovdiv with similar characteristics, paying the 25 st. foreign rate with a bisected 50 st. The cover shows some traces of aging, which given its rarity should be of little significance. The lot is accompanied by copies of the other existing bisects. Opinions Karaivanoff (1951) Todd AIEP (2014) and Penev (2021).
