    Croce di S. Andrea 1852 (Dec. 9): Carta a mano 10 c. black type Ia with complete St. Andrew's Cross on amazing sheet margin below the stamp (34 mm), this adhesive with fresh colour and large even margins all round in combination with Carta a mano 5 c. orange type Ia, another fine and fresh example. Both adhesives tied by superb strikes of framed one line "MILANO: 9 - 12 : 52" datestamp on entire letter to Varese, reverse with arrival datestamp of the next day. The 10 centesimi adhesive with horizontal file fold below, slightly ironed out with nearly no impact on the overlying stamp; also minor pre-use thin on reverse of sheet margin below the Cross, just mentioned for accuracy, without any importance for this item presenting the only 10 c. with St. Andrew's Cross below on cover. A unique and extremely desirable cover for a high-end collection of Lombardo-Veneto or the Old Italian States. Signed Giorgio Colla; group cert. Matl & Ferchenbauer (2004) Sassone = € 600'000 / Ferchenbauer = LP.rnNote: Three combinations of 10 c. stamps with St. Andrew's Crosses had been known in the past including one strip of five with two stamps and three Crosses, being part of the famous 'Mystery' collection which should have been offered in May 1959 at Shanahan (lot 1207), was stolen and the whereabouts of this item are unknown. There exist in addition to this presumably lost strip two covers, incl. one cover with two St. Andrew's cross aside the 10 c. stamp (1st Erivan Corinphila Auction, June 2019, lot 7082) and the item offered here. rnReference: Described and displayed in the census of Dr. Jerger in 'Allgemeine und besondere Frankaturen' (1983) on p. 69 and the one of Greg Todd (2004).rnProvenance: Collection Rothschild, Mercury Stamp Company, New York (Oct. 1947), lot 1026; Harmers London sale (Dec. 1965), lot 22; Collection Dr. Anton & Elisabeth Jerger.

    Croce di S. Andrea 1850: Carta a mano 15 c. dark-vermillion type I plate 2, a single example with all four St. Andrew's Crosses at right of the stamp, fresh colour and good to large margins all round, tied by the very rare mute handstamp of Verona to entire letter to Padova, "VERONA 17/1" (1854) datestamp alongside, reverse with arrival and distribution cds's. A nearly invisible hor. fold through the third Cross is just mentioned for accuracy, this combination of the rare mute cancellation and the largest possible multiple of St. Andrew's Crosses of a first issue definitive is one of the key items of Lombardo - Veneto philately. Only three covers with all four possible Crosses attached to a 15 c. are known to the describer, this being an elusive item for the most advanced collection.rnSigned Alberto Diena, Enzo Diena and Giorgio Colla; cert. Ferchenbauer (2004) Ferchenbauer = LP/Sassone = € 475'000.rnProvenance: Rothschild collection, Hamers New York sale (Dec. 1965); Renato Mondolfo collection, shown at WIPA 1981; collection Dr. Anton & Elisabeth Jerger.
