1872 "LARNACA DI CIPRO 1/12", very good strike on Austrian Levant 1867 10 soldi blue on postal "RICEVUTA DI RITORNO" (Rückschein), sent to Milano, Italy. Very Fine. This is the UNIQUE KNOWN ACCUSÉ DE RECEPTION (A.R) OF THE AUSTRIAN POST IN CYPRUS and certainly one of its rarest postal rates. For comparaison the only known Austrian Levant postal stationery envelope used in Cyprus sold in the "Zephyr" collection (2003) for 6000 CHF. (Image)
