1916. Bordo izdanje: Pismo iz crnogorskog konzulata u Veneciji sa odgovarajucom frankaturom 10 c za Cetinje sa nalepnicama privremene Crnogorske vlade u Bordou (Bordeaux) oranž i zeleno plava. Pismo je poslato 14.5. a vraceno neuruceno 29.7. jer je Crna Gora bila okupirana i poštanski saobracaj obustavljen. Dolazni žig u povratnoj pošti u Veneciji je preko Bordo nalepnice cime se garantuje da su ove jedinstvene poštanske nalepnice stvarno bile upotrebljne. (Crnogorska vlada ih je dostavila konzulatu ali su izuzetno retko korišcene) Vrhunska retkost Crnogorske poštanske istorije, poznata su samo 4 pisma sa ovakvom upotrebom.
1916 Bordeaux issue: Letter from Montenegrin Consulate in Venice with 10 c appropriate franking sent to Cetinje with temporary Montenegrin government in Bordeaux labels in orange and green-blue. Letter was sent on 14 May and returned undelivered on 29 July because Montenegro was occupied and postal traffic was stopped. Arrival cancel in return post office in Venice is over Bordeaux label which guarantees that those unique postal labels were really used (Montenegrin government sent them to the Consulate but they were extremely rarely used). Montenegrin postal history supreme rarity, only four letters known with such use.
