VERY FINE. A RARE MIXED-ISSUE FRANKING WITH BOTH THE EAGLE AND "EMPIRE" ISSUES USED FROM THE FRENCH MILITARY POST OFFICE AT MY-THO.
According to Wikipedia: "The Capture of My Tho on 12 April 1861 was an important allied victory in the Cochinchina campaign (1858-62). This campaign, fought between the French and the Spanish on the one side and the Vietnamese on the other, began as a limited punitive expedition and ended as a French war of conquest. The war concluded with the establishment of the French colony of Cochinchina, a development that inaugurated nearly a century of French colonial dominance in Vietnam." (Image)

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION FRANKING FROM SAIGON TO BELGIUM.
Eagle Issue covers from French Cochinchina to destinations other than France are scarce. This is particularly desirable because it bears the 80c Eagle, which is rare from this colonial post office. (Image)
