;) ;) ;) | MAURITIUS - a wonderfully difficult cover Firstly this cover to the Rheinisches Luft Regiment was thought to be to Unter Offizier Hogeback in the experimental German Army balloon company (formed from 1884 to 1901); secondly did 4c equal the British 1d concession rate for sailors and soldiers for letters back to the UK - but surely that not apply to foreign destination regiments, lastly the seemingly B35 duplex dated MR 16 85 does not seem to conform with any Proud illustrations, forwarded by BLYTH BROTHERS & Co., Mauritius showing unidentified 7 AVRIL cds and SAARLOUIS 8 4 85 arrival. £300 |
