1918: Machine Overprints Type I & II Specialised Collection. A
comprehensive study of the 1918 Machine Overprints, attractively
presented on 19 display pages and covering both Type I and Type II
settings, together with 9 covers demonstrating commercial usage.
The collection includes a strong range of listed varieties,
notably: missing “I” in “FIUME”, double overprints, including one
oblique pair (Sassone 24ca). Of particular significance is a 10 kr.
fine used example (Sassone € 8’000), accompanied by a Mihály
certificate. Also included is a folded sheet of 100 of Sassone 26
with original gum; an impressive and rarely encountered survival.
The Type II section is especially strong on postage dues, with an
excellent range of examples, most signed by Oliva, providing
important expert validation in this heavily forged field. Condition
is mainly fine, with only the occasional minor imperfection as to
be expected. A valuable and well-constructed specialised assembly
with a catalogue value in excess of Sassone € 28’000. Provenance:

detailed and carefully arranged study of the Portrait Series
depicting Gabriele D’Annunzio, presented on twenty-four display
pages and comprising a comprehensive range of unused and used
material. The collection includes complete sets and full sheets,

material for comparison; an important feature in this frequently
forged issue. Notable highlights include: Colour trials (errors of
colour), including the 25 c. carmine, 25 c. blue and 30 c. brown in
imperforate pairs, Provisional Government overprints, including the
key value and additional examples signed by Diena and Oliva, five
commercially used covers, forgeries of both overprints and

Provisional overprint (Sassone 160zb, 162zb, 163zb), the Third
issue is represented, including the 10 c. red with the small line
beneath “Provvisorio” omitted, and the Fourth Issue 5 c. and 10 c.
values, both unused and used, including the notable sheet error at
position 100 where the letter “V” appears with curved instead of
straight sides in the final two stamps of the sheet. Also included
are imperforate proofs of the 5 c. and 10 c. values, the former
showing the distinctive lower-case “p” at the beginning of
“Provvisorio.” A well-constructed and specialised collection, rich
in constant varieties, proofs, signed material, and forgery
studies; offering excellent scope for exhibition or advanced
research. Sass = € 30’000+. Provenance: Ex John Pitts.

A ...di più 1918 Hand Overprints Specialised & Certified Exhibition Collection. A unique and highly specialised collection of the 1918 Hand Overprints, attractively presented on twenty-six display leaves and comprising 200 stamps, over 40 pieces, and 4 covers. The study begins with the first trial overprint and continues with examples from each of the six handstamps employed, providing a comprehensive overview of the hand-applied overprint issues. While letterpress forgeries are well known and widely encountered, forgeries of the handstamp overprints are comparatively scarce. The material offered here has been carefully identified and expertised, with items signed or endorsed by Oliva or Diena, and described accordingly, including a selection of forgeries; a significant assurance of authenticity in this complex field. The collection includes hand overprints on the Hungarian “Reapers,” Parliament, Charity, and Karl & Zita issues, represented both mint and used, with numerous examples on piece and a small selection of covers. The breadth of material allows for detailed comparison of handstamps, settings, and usages. A remarkable, self-contained and authoritative assembly, rarely encountered in such depth and ideal for specialist study or exhibition. Note: Oliva and Diena worked in collaboration with the late Roy Dehn, who, during the 1950s–1960s, assembled much of the material now written up in this collection. Provenance: Ex John Pitts.

VEGLIA first overprinted issues are represented both unused and
used for each island (many signed), including notable varieties
such as vertical pairs with the upper stamp without overprint
(ARBE). Official cards with large overprints of ARBE and VEGLIA,

1918/1924: “Index Falsorum” & “A Comparative Study of Forgeries”.
Roy Dehn’s Original Forgery Reference Collection with original
working reference collection and manuscript studies of Fiume
forgeries, comprising his Index Falsorum and A Comparative Study of
Forgeries; an exceptional insight into one of the most complex and
heavily forged areas of European philately. Three "fantasy
overprints are shown followed by five forged hand-stamps. Machine
overprint forgeries are particularly prolific in the Fiume field,
and Dehn systematically presents and describes no fewer than 32
examples. The Index Falsorum further documents forged postage dues,
fabricated double and inverted overprints, forged “Reapers” and
Parliament issues, examples of the missing “I” in “FIUME”, and
concludes with three forgery types of the 20 f. postage due
overprinted with bar “FRANCO” and “45”. The accompanying
Comparative Study of Forgeries, compiled by Dehn and demonstrating
his advanced knowledge of the subject as early as 1965, was awarded
a Silver Medal at the British Philatelic Exhibition 1965
(certificate included). Although a number of stamps have been
removed over time, Dehn’s original manuscript annotations
identifying and analysing the forgeries remain intact, preserving
the integrity and research value of the study. Also present are
genuine examples, including: 5 f. Reaper, handstamp Type II (signed
Oliva), Military “new value” 20 c. black overprint, 1 l. on 25 c.
red overprint. The remaining genuine material alone catalogues
approximately € 5’000. Condition mixed in places, as expected in a
working reference collection. A highly specialised and historically
important forgery reference, essential for serious students of
Fiume and an invaluable guide to navigating this notoriously
difficult field. Provenance: Ex John Pitts.

The study concludes with the 1 March 1924 overprint “ANNESSIONE ALL’ITALIA” (Annexation to Italy), marking the final political transition of the territory. A fresh and highly presentable specialised selection, clearly assembled with study and exhibition in mind, and offering a well-rounded representation of the final chapter of Fiume’s philatelic history.

1919/1924: Roy Dehn’s Original Collection of Fiume, housed in an SG
Tower Stamp album and extending to over 50 pages, comprising a
well-balanced blend of mint and used material. The collection
retains Dehn’s characteristic manuscript annotations throughout,

referencing relevant catalogue specifications; an invaluable
feature in this notoriously complex and heavily forged field.
Although a few gaps are present, the collection is largely complete
for the period and includes a number of useful and instructive
items. Of particular note is Sassone 146A genuine, accompanied by a
