FRANCE, 1849, 1fr Vermilion on Yellowish (8; Yvert 7). Horizontal pair, unused (no gum), large margins to barely in at top of left stamp, the right stamp with four clear margins, brilliant color, few tiny flaws that are not clearly evident and are visible in fluid

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNUSED PAIR OF THE 1849 ONE-FRANC VERMILION. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ISSUES IN ALL OF CLASSIC FRANCE TO OBTAIN IN UNUSED CONDITION, ESPECIALLY AS A MULTIPLE. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COLLECTION.

Signed several times on back. Small purple backstamp at bottom left barely shows thru. Yvert e120,000 as no gum singles. Scott Retail as with gum
