The 1 drachma franking is overpaid but the Postmaster in Athens (Sept. 24) applied four litho 25 l. ultramarine over the original franking as, whilst the Dedeagatch franking was legitimate it would not be recognised upon arrival in Pera. "British Post Office / Constantinople" cds also at right (Nov. 10) in black. Imperfections but a most unusual cover. (Image 1)(Image 2)(Image)
