64, Facit #49 [1901 2 penni Russian Design] Normally PERFORATED PLATE PROOF of FOREGROUND ONLY in BLACK, with "crosshairs" at center points in margins on gummed, stamp paper. Single, NEVER HINGED, with Fine centering that is typical for the normal stamp issue. Proof from original plate, NOT printed later from defaced, scrapped plate. (I have also had examples without the crosshairs.) Very fresh and bright. Perforated proofs in general are "rare" and proofs of the 2 penni stamp are quite scarce and rarely offered.
