1864 (20 June) cover to Milano, franked with King Pedro V 100R lilac (1855 issue), used in combination with King Luiz 25R rose (1862 issue), both tied by dotted numeral plus handstamp of Lisbon. On arrival to Milano, the cover was redirected to Brescia-Ghedi, where 15c (1863 issue) Italian stamp was applied for further transmission. All relevant transits and arrival postmarks on reverse of cover. A rare example of franked redirection and probably unique usage of this Italian issue for franking redirected mail, some faults, still fine and interesting Portugal and Italy postal history item, with 1951 Fulpius certificate
