Description: The artifact is an authentic 80-fillér multi-colored postage stamp issued by the Hungarian People's Republic (Magyar Népköztársaság), belonging to the highly celebrated 1972 History of Locomotives definitive topical series. The graphic layout showcases an intricately illustrated, bright blue Italian "3830" steam locomotive complete with golden-yellow accents on its side rods and valve gear mechanism. This industrial focal point is superimposed over a striking, vibrant orange background field that depicts a stylized white line drawing of a historic castle fortress wall, a stone arch bridge, and distant rolling mountain peaks. The top right side explicitly carries the capitalized geographic indicator "OLASZ" (Italian). Running across the lower left edge is the bold state name "MAGYAR POSTA", balanced on the bottom right corner by the large denomination value "80 f".
Circa: 1972
Condition: Used CTO.
Notes:
The text printed on the side of the train cab reads exactly "3830". Because no such designation combination aligns with any real locomotive built or operated by Italy's historic network, the information was completely fabricated or misrepresented by the Hungarian layout artist.
