THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE 1917 40-CENTS ON ONE-LIRE HIGH VALUE USED ON COVER. A TRULY SPECTACULAR ITALIAN POST OFFICES ABROAD COVER AND ONE OF THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MAGNOLIA COLLECTION. A QUINTESSENTIAL ITEM TO ANY AWARD-WINNING EXHIBIT COLLECTION. The Offices in China, Peking 1917 40c on 1l stamp certainly ranks as one of the rarest regularly-issued stamps not only of the Italian Offices Abroad, but of the world. To date, only two unused and a small handful of used stamps are recorded. This is the only recorded cover. While unpriced used on cover in either Scott or Sassone, this commands a $60,000 value as used in Scott (€120,000 in Sassone). Signed Bolaffi. With 1953 Fiecchi and 2016 Bottacchi certificates
