Perfection!

 

001

5 F Allégorie
p. 13.25

Grevenmacher cds, June 30, 1884

The marriage of a near-perfect cancel to a near-perfect stamp is philatelic pulchritude plus!   And finding any of the 5-franc high- denomination Allégorie, GD Adolphe, GD Guillaume IV, or  GD Marie-Adélaïde definitives in this condition is especially satisfying.
