New edition of the catalogue on Italian perfins.
Since the publication of the first catalogue in 2000 and of its update in 2005, both sold out, it has been a continuous discovery of new patterns and of new users of old or new perfins, not to mention ampler utilization periods of time and additional detailed information.
All the patterns known are now collected in the present work, illustrated by original shape and dimensions, each one accompanied by useful details (name of user and activity, place and period of use, number given by other catalogues).
A very exhaustive introduction explains the origins, usage and way of collecting perfins.

Enclosed, 32 plates, on transparent drafting paper. The 1107 patterns known have been inserted full size in boxes, in alphabetical order, with their relevant catalogue number. The plates are a really precious tool to facilitate cataloguing the perfins on documents or on fragments, a task that is often made difficult by the scarce visibility of the little holes and by the inverted and/or reversed position of the pattern.
It will suffice to select the reference pattern the closest to the perforation to be identified, and to place it onto the perfin examined, in the same position, either upright, or inverted, or reversed. When the position of the holes of the reference template coincides with the original, one will be sure of the correct classification of the specimen.

Enclosed even a CD with 608 colour reproductions of documents franked with perfins, each one with the reference to the pattern in the catalogue.


Patterns reproduction, layout and graphics by Gianluigi Roncetti. English translation by Lucio Bertolazzi.
