Hello all, I found an Italian Somalia 150a (A6) 2L carmine (perf 14) 1932 with the overprint "POSTA AERIA" that I cannot find in Scotts. Is it a non-issued? Thanks!

I'm 90% sure it is in Michel, but the catalogue is at the office. I can check tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

edit:
Sanabria says that 2 stamps were prepared, but only sold in Italy by the Postmaster General for Italian Colonies. 15,000 of each value were printed. Yours is the higher value, and is #29 in Sanabria.

I cannot find it in my 1940 Sanabria's - what issue are you looking in & under what country? Thanks!

1946 Deluxe, under Italian Somaliland. I'd be surprised if pagination is consistent between the volumes, but p. 476.

According to Sanabria, these two stamps were issued in 1943. They wouldn't be in the 1940 edition.

I think I'll look for a newer Sanabria!
