A PHILIPPINE RARITY

The best of all the Philippine Revolution related lots in this auction. Ex me, David Chiong and F.W. Lange. Zurich Asia Auction realized about US$ 9,650.00. Inclusive of the 15% buyer's premium, about the same price when F.W. Lange acquired this cover from D. Chiong in the early 1990s.
