 1885 (Nov 16) envelope to Germany endorsed "via Naples/Captain KW Resius [?], SMS Marie" with QV Diadems Perf 13 8d orange & De La
Rue 1d rose tied by Sydney duplex cancels, Brindisi '26/DIC/85' transit and Berlin '31 12' arrival backstamps, a couple of minor blemishes. Carried by German warship SMS 'Marie' on her return journey after running aground off New-Mecklenburg, German
New Guinea on 26.12.1884 and spending four months being repaired in dry-dock at Sydney. The voyage was slow as she had to avoid stressing the hull, and this item was transferred en route, arriving in Berlin six weeks before the ship arrived at
Wilhelmshafen. Colin Tabeart states that North-German Lloyd ships occasionally carried Australian mail in the period before they began a contract service to Sydney in 1886 (see Vol 2 p310), but does not mention any mail carried by German naval
vessels. (Image1)

 1898 (Aug 10) usage of Postal Card 1½d blue to Germany with lengthy personal message in German from a son to his mother, endorsed
"Per SS Polynesian" and posted in the GPO late fee box with QV 2½d purple added tied by Sydney duplex cancel and 'LATE FEE PAID/G.P.O' cachet on the face, 'LUNEBURG/11.9.98' arrival datestamp alongside on the face, minor blemishes. Postcards with the
late fee paid are very scarce, a correctly uprated Postal Card even more so. While the late fee charge for mail addressed within Australia was 1d, that for overseas countries varied with the destination and where it was posted: for non-Pacific
destinations posted in the GPO late fee box, the charge was 2½d per article. (Image1) (Image2)

 Neat collection but most of the Chalons are stuck to the pages which is not a good sign, there is a huge marginal example of the
Imperf 2d blue SG 2 that has a few faults but is of fine facial appearance and the Charity duo (mint, creased), most of the higher denominations have been fiscally used. Caveat emptor = buyer beware.
