 Egyptian Consular Post Offices 1872: Cover from Jeddah to Germany, slittted for disinfection, bearing 1872 1 pi. rose-red tied by erroneously dated "POSTE VICE-REALI EGIZIANE / GEDDA" datestamp (March 2, 71) in black. Struck
with framed "AFFRANCATURA / INSUFFICIENTE" handstamp in black (the 1 pisatre paid the Port-to-Port rate to Suez only). At left "V.R. POSTE EGIZIANE / SUEZ" transit cds (March 14) in black and reverse with Suez cds's of march 13 and 14 and Alexandria
Egyptian P.O. cds. At upper left of cover it is possible a stamp has been removed but there are no signs of a Foreign Office marking on the cover. However, a rare cover - one of just six recorded by Uexkull bearing this issue, the "AFFRANCATURA /
INSUFFICIENTE" marking is believed unique struck in Jeddah and certainly the sole example of a Jeddah cover adressed to Germany. (Image 1)
