Lot 20296 – 1941-43 Two items bearing Italy non-overprinted stamps accepted for postage

1941-43 Two items bearing Italy non-overprinted stamps, including “Postes Helleniques” cover to Leghorn (Italy) franked by “Imperiale” 50c, exceptionally accepted and tied by bilingual “Kerkyra/Corfou” cds (Astolfi p. 10), the other being a military envelope paying the airmail fee only with “Imperiale” 50c, uncancelled by Kerkyra cds (struck alongside), highlighted and taxed with “T” in red crayon, not charged on arrival in Italy as it was considered as valid. The usage of accepted non-overprinted stamps is very rare when overprinted stamps were in circulation.
