Lot 60308 – 1851, 5c black large margined pair and 40c rose, on cover to France

1851, 5c black large margined pair and 40c rose, touched at left, otherwise clear to large margins, both paying single rate to France for a destination beyond 30 km on 12 July 1853 cover from Chambéry to Lyon, each tied by dotted grid cancels with dispatch cds in centre, red French entry alongside and part arrival cds on reverse, horizontal crease passing through the pair and other less significant imperfections, still though a very scarce franking (Sassone €59’000).
