AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and 100% authentic classic rarity from Switzerland.
• Country: Switzerland
• Year of Issue: 1850 / 1851
• Issue: "Rayon I"
• Face Value: 5 Rappen (Rp.)
• Color: Light Blue / Dark Blue pattern with red shield
• Condition: Used
• Cancellation: Crisp and highly legible black "Federal Diamond" grid cancel (eidgenössische Raute).
Condition Report:
• Front: Very nice overall appearance, with a clean and clear cancellation that leaves the "Rayon I" inscription perfectly legible.
• Margins: Typical for this classic issue, the margins are tight/touched on the right and bottom sides, while being broader on the top and left.
A fundamental piece for any advanced collector of European Classics, backed by one of the most trusted signatures in philatelic history.
Please examine the high-resolution images carefully to form your own impression of the margins and condition.
I don't combine shippings
Following a recent change in international sector regulations, specifically Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Postal Convention, starting from January 1, 2026, it will no longer be possible to send items (goods with or without commercial value) using International Registered and International Insured services, which will continue to be used exclusively for sending documents.
It means that starting from January 1st, 2026, I will ship abroad only by "POSTE DELIVERY INTERNATIONAL STANDARD" starting from 25,80€ without insurance
