1863 - former IV issue of Sardinia c. 40 carmine pink edition 1862 on letter from Riposto to Genoa 28/3/63 with the French Postal Steamers
Sassone n. 16E
Rate agreement for letters sent by sea with the intermediation of French Postal Steamships, between Italian ports; the letter discounted the same rate as forwarding it to France or c. 40 instead of c. 15 scheduled for forwarding with national steamers.
Rare fare, very few known and perhaps the only one departing from RIPOSTO (with transit in Giarre and Messina).
