ST.ANDREW’S CROSS USED AS FRANKING
Red and Brown (on reverse) St.Andrew’s Crosses tied by FÜNFKIRCHEN 12/11 cds on registered envelope to Kaposvár, reverse bears KAPOSVÁR 13/11 arrival cds. Must have been the postal clerk who applied red and brown St.Andrew’s Crosses instead of 5Kr and 10GKr adhesives, causing 15 kreuzer loss to the treasury, or could not balance his inventory.
