1867, June 5. Envelope (tiny flaw at top) from Cairo via Trieste to Wr. Neustadt (Austria), initially franked with 1866 2pi. yellow tied by blue ´´Poste Vice Reali Egiziane/Cairo´´ cds, paying the double inland rate to Alexandria, where it entered the Austrian P.O. for onward transmission to Austria, with application of 1864 5s. rose and 10s. blue (2, one with slight perforation flaws at base), tied by ´´Alexandrien 7/6´´ cds´s, backstamped on arrival. The 25s. rate may not be explained; consequently, it led to suppose that one 5s. is missing. A very rare combination franking. Cert. Ferchenbauer. Ferchenbauer € 17,000++.
