Initially marked 'PD', but this has been officially obliterated, and a long manuscript explanation by the Leipzig postmaster written on the back as to why the 14gms requires a further 7 1/2 units due- and finished off with a superb red wax seal of Leipzig post office (at least another 2 or 3 gms!) | 85.00 |
