Cilicie, cover sent from Adana (“Adana 1” cancel) on 17/9/1920 to France. Correctly franked for 3½ Piasters by 20p and 1P unissued stamps, also 2P (Y&T n 100, 101 and 93). Despite as asserted by the major catalogs, a few specimens of these unissued  stamps overprinted “SAND. EST “ by Gedeon in Beirut, escaped to the block of the authorities and were illegally used, as in this very rare case. B. Longo photoexpertise. GREAT RARITY FOR BIG COLLECTOR.
