1919, 10 filler Hungarian Crown type value declared parcel card from ZAGREB to TUZLA, Bosnia, value declared as 500K, additional franking paid with 20f in pair and 1K Croatian stamps, tied by strikes of ZAGREB 919 MAR 18 cancel, at top 967 ZAGREB 1 parcel label, on reverse with TUZLA 25. III. 19 arrival cancels, handstamped AUSGEFOLGT LAGERZINS K. 20 h. charges of 20 Heller, the postage due was paid with horizontal strip of four 5 Heller/Bosnia Herzegovina postage due stamps of Austria stamps, very interesting mixed frankture, issued in the early aftermath of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's collapse following World War I, this document captures a postal episode from the contested South Slavic territories during the transition from imperial administration to the nascent Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the parcel card, originating in ZAGREB, then a key administrative and logistical hub in Croatia-Slavonia, was directed to TUZLA, a Bosnian urban center of military and economic relevance, the date of dispatch, March 18, 1919, places it in a period marked by political uncertainty and armed unrest in the Balkans, as local national councils asserted control and former imperial structures disintegrated, the use of CROATIAN stamps alongside BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA postage due issues of Austria underlines the monetary and postal disarray of the era, reflecting both provisional arrangements and overlapping authorities, notably, the 500K declared value suggests a shipment of significant worth, perhaps commercial or governmental, the 20f and 1K adhesives were among the last issues under imperial influence, affixed during a period when Croatian postal services had not yet fully transitioned to new national issues, the strike of the ZAGREB 919 MAR 18 cancel aligns with the presence of postal zone numbers introduced under Austro-Hungarian administration, while the TUZLA 25. III. 19 arrival confirms continued operational integrity despite state dissolution, the boxed handstamp AUSGEFOLGT LAGERZINS K. 20 h. indicates customs storage fees for delayed collection, a rare and well-documented auxiliary marking from this period, the horizontal strip of four 5 Heller postage due stamps from the Austrian administration of Bosnia Herzegovina used to satisfy the 20 Heller charge is a remarkable survival, showcasing mixed franking from two erstwhile imperial territories, the application of these dues reveals both the logistical pragmatism and philatelic richness of a region in administrative flux, the combination of Croatian and Bosnian-Austrian elements, coupled with clear transit and fiscal markings, provides an exceptional insight into post-imperial mail circulation, a philatelically and historically important item, ex Kugel, VF-XF!
