 1864-1866 "Eagles". Querétaro. 1r. Blue (Fifth Period, 4-1866), 4r. Green (Fourth Period, 86-1865) and 8r. Red, on a registered front from Querétaro to Mexico dated 1866 (March 16), paying 13r., with 8r.
corresponding for the flat registration rate and 5r. for 1 ounce, beyond 16 leagues. The 8r. was cut when the front was trimmed, as required by postal regulations. Such registered fronts are scarce by design: postal regulations of the period required
the addressee's signature on the cut front as proof of receipt before it was sent back to the office of origin, retained for two years, and finally destroyed. Probably only fifteen to twenty registered mails survive from this issue. Cert. MEPSI
