Lot 50213 – 1864 entire letter from Ploesti to Leipzig bearing
1864 entire letter from Ploesti to Leipzig bearing four examples of Lombardy-Venetia 1863 Arms 5 kr. dark rose, perf. 14, all with fresh colour, well tied by Austrian Fieldpost « K.K. ÖST. F:P. PLOESCHTI 20 / 9 » (Tchilinghirian fig. 767) cds in black. Reverse with Hermannstadt transit and Leipzig distribution (25/IX) cds. An astonishing franking with this very rare late usage of a Crimean War Fieldpost cancellation during the Consular Period. We record only five covers showing this rare postmark on stamps: two of the Crimean War period (franked with Austria’s First Issue) and three during the Consular P.O period; this cover being the most spectacular of them all.
