Lot 30270 – 1865 5 par blue on vertically laid paper in used block

1865 5 par blue on vertically laid paper in used block of four, good to very large margins, neatly cancelled by Bucharest 27/1 scroll-type double-circle ds, very fine and exceedingly rare multiple as only one other block of four is known (on a cover), cert. Heimbuchler (2007) which states that by comparison to contemporary strikes and the state of wear of the cancel, it indicates that this is probably a contemporary cancellation; ex Cornelia (part 2, Dec 2007).
