Issued for Turkish occupation forces to use in Thessaly during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897-98.
Issued as a series of five on April 21, 1898.
Perf 13 - Forgeries perf 11˝.
This is the first time I have seen one of these postally used with all four corners still attached.
Are they really that hard to find used?
TIA.

I would say they are not easy to find used because most dealers don't have them "prepared" for sale, but they are not hard to find if you actively look/ask for them.

I have the 10pa through 2pi used (w/ cancel) in my collection. My 10pa does not have the corners, but the other three have full corners. My 2pi actually has a thin strip of selvage (couple of mm's wide) on the left!

Sorry, I misplaced my power cord for my scanner when I moved it a few months ago, so I cannot post a scan.

[EDIT: typo, changed 5pi to 2pi]
