#8a, 1871 3kr Blue green engraved on 3kr Green typographed postal envelope, Ty. II, a highly unusual and rare combination with adhesive tied to the entire to Uj Feherto by 1874 Budapest c.d.s., backstamped Uj Ferherto and forwarded to Szanto where backstamped, very fine; the 3kr postal envelope is scarce in used condition, however to have a complementary adhesive of the same value, which is probably 1kr overpayment for the normal 5kr letter rate, makes this usage of considerable rarity; we can find no other example of this combination; signed A(lberto) D(iena) and accompanied by his 1973 certificate (phil. Hung. #9a).
