CD-2) datestamp at left, "Via Ancona" directive at top, Ancona "18 GEN 65" transit marking on reverse, cover with minor spots and insignificant tear on reverse flap, fine; the unknown "EGITTO" marking is mentioned in Smith on page 79 and "no other example has been reported".

1663 c   ImageRussia, Offices in the Turkish Empire #8, 1868 1k Brown, single tied to cover by black "785" in triangular dotted cancel (Smith Ty. OB-1) to Beirut, Lebanon, December 2nd Alexandria backstamp (Smith Ty. D-1); an incredibly rare usage as very few covers are known using the Russian P.O. in Egypt. (Image) Est. $2,000-3,000

SOLD for $2,700.00
Will close during Public Auction
1664 O 9 Image#9, 1867 10pa Lilac, single cancelled by Chanak Kile (Fort Chanak, Dardandelles) partial intaglio seal postmark in blue, stamp with insignificant corner creases; an extraordinarily rare postmark; 1962 Egypt Study Circle certificate.

So few of these postmarks are known both on and off cover, only two of these known on cover, coupled by the fact that they are often indistinguishable as impressions were not well made. It is assumed that intaglio seals were hand carved and used provisionally while awaiting the arrival of datestamps as known covers date to around the time of post office openings. (Image)
