Perhaps I have mistakenly expressed myself using the term 'appraise', I believe that the stamp needs an expert certificate of authenticity of the stamp and of the cancellation. We then have the evaluation from the catalogs.

2200 euro catalog value mean about 200-400 euro market price? more or less, depending where/how do you sell it. Also the stamp is a good quality (i didn't see the back, but you can tell me if there are faults or not). The cost of an expertization in Italy is around 80-90 euro (50 the certificate, maybe less depending by the expert, plus S/H, also consider there is sometime a minimum invoicing value, if i'm right Raybaudi is around 60 euro). Which expert? The older are now retired or close to. Raybaudi died and now there is his assistant going on (Serena Vignati). Sorani now passed all to his daugther (Manuela), the same Carraro with his son Diego. Caffaz is well know and appreciated, and by my side, the few time i needed, i used to go to Antonello Cerruti of the SPR (Studio Peritale Romano). If you're going to think to an expertization, i suggest you to consider asking to an italian expert, at least try it...

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

We then have the evaluation from the catalogs. No, I understood exactly what you meant. There are many terms used for the same thing, that being whether the postmark is authentic. For me it is not worth getting a verification unless I planned to sell it. I agree that if I were to get it checked that it would be best done in Italy. The local authenticator I spoke of just does Canada when I checked their website. It is just a fortunate find in a massive lot of stamps a friend has given me to look through and keep what I want. The rest he will sell in a general estate auction. The finds of decent stamps have been minimal. The back of this stamp is clean with no flaws detected. Thanks again for your input. Stay safe.

'Imperial' series. Hi René renden ... well done you have completed the ordinary series with also the value of 3.70 Lire from 1930 and the value of 1 Lira from 1942. As you may have noticed this 'Imperial' series is a very long-lived series spanning 1929-1946 with overprints and lieutenancy.

I went and checked out www.ibolli.it/index.php. It is a very interesting site as it mixes history and stamps. It is pretty well organized site. Lucky for me I read and speak Italian so that may have me looking through a different lens. The prices are in Euros which fluctuate almost hourly during a busy day. The stamps are priced as an example for e,40 so near 40 cents. The Scott catalog lists the stamps at 0.55 US. so nearly the same as catalog. I will spend more time checking out this site and determine if it reasonable cost wise. I would have to read the cost of postage and hos the site figures out shipping costs. At first blush not a bad place to look for that elusive stamp. Nick

Colleagues, any thoughts about the post-mark on this 50c Italy stamp? Also, can you confirm it is a postmark and not an occupation overprint? Thanks for any advice. Thomas

Reminding myself. FERROVIA is a Post Office at a Railway Station, not an TPO / RPO
