Austria: Erroneous “MEKL” cancellation mark. The unique submittal erroneous fancy cancellation for the post office of MELK on a 3 kreuzer red 1850/54. A perfect strike of this beautiful cancel.
In the end, the handstamp was never used as the error was detected just in time.
An unparalleled addendum to any advanced collection of Austria! (Image 2) (Image)
