Well that may be or it just may be pride. As the politics were very fluid then. When Naples was part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, they still referred to themselves as the Kingdom of Napoles....

In any case, it would be great to see the proof marks on this one.

The opening bid + VAT + import costs puts it beyond my reach.
