Certificate signed by Robert Odenweller stating "IT IS A GENUINE
USAGE WITH A SMALL PORTION OF THE BACKFLAP AND PART OF THE PARIS BACKSTAMP
MISSING".
1990 Silvano
Sorani private certificate stating "IN MY OPINION THE LETTER IS
GENUINE UNDER EVERY RESPECT, ALL THE CANCELLATIONS ARE GENUINE AND THE
STAMP IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND THEREFORE, I HAVE SIGNED IT".
When this
cover was obtained by David Chiong in 1993 and prior to his securing the
Philatelic Foundation certificate, those that seriously collected Spanish
Philippines said that the cover is a fake since #1 was issued for internal
use only. Since then, two more covers bearing the #1 used abroad have surfaced.
Both covers were also deemed as GENUINE. Not shown is a Royal "Genuine"
