Italian States Selection. A representative group of forty mint and used 1851-1868 period Classics from five of the nineteenth century states. The lot consists of Parma #1-3, Roman States #3a/25, Sardinia #10a/P1, Tuscany #6, 7 & 7a, and the Two Sicilies #3, 19 & 21. Generally sound but faults will be found. The first four imperf. issues of the Roman States appear to be genuine but the remaining imperfs of the issue have not been valued as they are all considered to be re-prints, as are the 3c.and 80c values of the perforated issues. A good start on this most intriguing philatelic subject. Owner's 2019 Scott US$1,838.25=
