Lot 20715 – 1922 Postcard from an Italian officer from Korce with “R.R.Poste/Agenzia /Consolare Italiana/Corizza” Consular oval handstamp

1922 (Aug 26) Postcard sent by an Italian officer from Korce and addressed to Shkoder in Albania, redirected twice within Italy, with “R.R.Poste/Agenzia /Consolare Italiana/Corizza” Consular oval handstamp in violet to forward the mail through diplomatic bag inside Albania and to Italy, from Shkoder readdressed to Boscolungo (Pistoia) and later to Rome, with the franking of “Leoni” 5c & 10c being tied at the port of arrival in Italy with Brindisi cds. An extremely rare usage (it is unknown the purpose of the presence of this Italian officer with a mission in this period in Albania, but he was probably involved in a boundary commission).
