Italian States – Parma, 5 February 1853
Folded Letter from Duchy of Parma and correctly addressed to Borgo San Donnino (now Fidenza), franked with 5 c black on yellow (SG 1 / Mi Nr 1, Sassone #6) and 10 c grey‑black (SG 3 / Mi Nr 2, Sassone #5). Both stamps neatly tied by bold boxed network obliterator in black ink. Red BORGO S. DONNINO circular date‑stamp dated 5 FEB 1853 is struck adjacent, complemented by a legible Parma arrival cds on the reverse. A fine and scarce mixed‑franking usage from Parma’s first issue.
