 1871 (Feb 16) Maritime cover sent using the DDSG service to Braila, franked with horizontal pair 5b carmine-pink, Carol I with beard, imperforate (left stamp with repaired margin top and left) otherwise very fine, tied by a
superb "Calafat Sera" cds in blue, "P.D." boxed in blue, arrival on reverse "Braila Dim" dated 18.2, the cover endorsed "Cu Vaporu" (by Steamboat); overland mail took several days, the boat service being much quicker and the Faranga merchants having
a special agreement with DDSG for postal deliveries the normal rate being 10b for a domestic letter (the service was in operation from October 1870 to late 1872); very few covers recorded which used this postal arrangement and rare franking with a
pair of 5b, being of greater rarity than the single 10b frankings (with the exception of the Paris issue).(Image 1)

 1871 (Jan 7) Registered cover sent to Fogaras (Hungary) franked with a 15b vermilion, Carol I with whiskers, imperforate, three margins cancelled by a Campulung blue cds to front paying the near distance rate, and a 25b orange
and blue, Carol I with whiskers, imperforate, four good margins, tied to the back by Campulung blue cds, paying the registration fee; the near distance rate to the Austrian Empire was 15b (the normal rate was 25b), and nearly all the covers bearing
this rate were sent to Itzcani; a cover sent registered to Hungary at the 15 Bani rate is a major rarity.(Image 1)

 1872 (May 2) Cover to Itzcani (part of Austria at the time) franked with strip of three 5b red, four margin, horizontal crease at top, tied by blue Botosani cds, "P.D." boxed mark in blue to front, rare Itzcani arrival on
reverse dated 8 May, sent when the rate for the first weight bracket letter sent to the borderline territories of Austo-Hungarian Empire was 15 Bani; in June 1871 a Romanian post office was established in the Austrian railway station in Itzcani and
all correspondence exchanged with Austria occurred from then through this post office (prior sent through Gara Roman post office); very rare backstamp of the Romanian post office abroad which first opened in 1871 in what was at the time Austria; the
franking of a strip of three of the 5 Bani stamp is most unusual, we do not know of another example.(Image 1)
