1875 (Aug 15): Registered Envelope from Klin to Königsberg, Germany, bearing 1866 30 kop. rose & green on horizontally laid paper, tied by crisp Klin despatch cds. Russian framed ZAKAZNOJE - Registered handstamp and German provisional registration label for incoming registered mail used at Eydtkuhnen-Dirschau alongside. Reverse with additional Klin information strike and "BESTELLUNG 31 8" distribution cds of the Königsberg P.O. Some toning and edge wear, nevertheless an interesting item, mailed just after the foundation of the GPU with an early usage of the German provisional label.rnNote: The franking is rather arbitrary, presumably due to the rate changes related to the establishment of the new GPU rates which came into force on June 19, 1875 (Julian calendar). A registered single rate cover like the present one should have been franked with 8 kop. for the cover, 10 kop. for the registration and 5 kop. for the receipt, in total 23 kop.
