Romanian Post, Treaty with Austria; 1869 (May 10): Mourning
Envelope ...mehr Romanian Post, Treaty with Austria; 1869 (May 10): Mourning Envelope from Ismail to Syra, Greece, endorsed "via Constantinopoli", bearing 1869 Prince Carol 15 bani vermillion and 25 bani orange & blue, margins from shaved to large, tied by double-circle ornamental ISMAIL datestamp in blue (Kiriac fig. 401), straight-line JSMAIL and framed "P.D." in the same ink alongside, but also italic "P.P." of the Constantinopel office. Reverse with double-circle GALATI and Austrian CONSTANTINOPEL transit cds's as well as SYROS arrival cds (May 11, julian). An appealing and interesting item, the Romanian 40 bani franking paying the journey only to Constantinople but not to Greece, this was however neglected by the Greek post which charged the cover only with "20" lepta in blue crayon for the Greek inland journey, paid with 20 lepta blue. Underpaid mail was in principal not allowed by the regulations, a rare item full of postal history, illustrated in Edition d'Or volume 72 on page 133, cert. Heimbüchler (2016).

Envelope ...mehr Romanian Post, Treaty with Austria; 1869 (June 8): Underpaid Envelope from Bucharest to Paris, bearing 1869 Prince Carol ‘without beard’ 25 bani orange & blue and 50 bani blue & red, tied by double-circle “BUCURESTI SERA” cds (Kiriac fig 443). Framed “P.D.” and “A.” handstamps alongside, overstruck by "JNSUFFISAMENT AFFRANCHIE" handstamp, obverse also struck by indistinct French “AUTR. STRASBOURG” entry cds in blue. Reverse with WIEN transit cds (June 12). Franked to pay correctly the single 75 bani rate via Austria to France, taxed as being a double rate item with the present franking disregarded. Both adhesives glued at the envelope's edge and thereby impaired, part of backflap missing, nevertheless an interesting item, illustrated in Edition d'Or volume 72 on page 143.

Framed 'P.D.' alongside overstruck by "AFFRANCHISSEMENT INSUFFISANT" handstamp, reverse with Swiss "B.P. ROMANSHORN - BERN" TPO and LANGNAU arrival cds (Sept 20). The letter was underpaid by 10 bani and finally taxed with 45 rappen with the unpaid letter rate of 70 bani minus 25 bani franking resulting in a difference of 45 bani equal to 45 rappen with both currencies being part of the Latin currency union. A fine cover from a well-known correspondence to a cheese dealer in the Emmental in Switzerland. Illustrated in Edition d'Or volume 72 on page 141.

1872, Paris print 10 b. blue, 15 b. deep brown and 25 b. yellowish
bistre (2), tied to envelope from "BACAU 7 JUN 75", endorsed "via
Varna", to Athens, paying the full tariff for mail to Greece of 75
bani (the cover was presumably held at the P.O. awaiting full
payment, as the 10 b. is cancelled a day after the other three
stamps). On reverse transit marks of Bucharest, Galatz,
Constantinople and Piraeus. Charged for local delivery with postage
due 1875, 40 l. tied by dotted "1". An exceptional and most unusual
