Lot 20576 – 1919 Registered cover bearing “Pechino” 25c and very rare 20c on non-philatelic mail

1918 (Oct 19) Registered cover from Peking to a carabiniere Marshal in Genoa, readdressed to Rome, bearing “Pechino” overprinted 20c and 25c, tied by “R.R. Poste Italiane/Pechino-Cina” cds, with additional strike at lower left, also tied by framed “Bologna posta estera/Censura Militare” censorship marking, which exhibits various times on front and tying the label at left. This overprinted 20c is unpriced in Sassone, with its usage on non-philatelically inspired mail being a great rarity.
