BEAUTIFUL REGISTERED FINNISH POSTAL ENTIRE 14 KOP BLUE USED IN RUSSIA
VF. ST PETE TO BRESLAU - W/ REGISTERED LABEL, MS NUMBERS, B/S "BRESLAU".
AN EXTREMELY INTERESTING AND RARE COVER. THE BEST DISCUSSION SEEMS TO BE
IN FACIT 2009 SPECIALIZED CATALOGUE WHICH LISTS THE STATIONARY COVER
USED ALONE AS #RRF3A. IT THEN NOTES THE FOLLOWING PREMIUMS:
CORRECT USE ABROAD +75%, MIXED FRANKING RUSSIAN AND FINNISH STAMPS USED
ABROAD +300%, RING POSTAL STATIONARY CANCELLED IN RUSSIA +100%. ADD TO
THAT THE FACT THAT THIS IS A REGISTERED COVER AND IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE.
A TRUE EXHIBITION PIECE!
THE 1 AND 15 KOPEK RUSSIAN STAMPS ARE FROM THE 1902-1905 ISSUE
BEAR IN MIND THAT AT THIS TIME RUSSIA WAS STILL USING THE JULIAN
CALENDAR (UNTIL 1918) WHICH WAS ABOUT 12-13 DAYS BEHIND THE GREGORIAN
CALENDAR USED BY MOST OF THE WORLD BY THIS TIME, EXCEPT GREECE (UNTIL
1924). HENCE THE LETTER DID NOT TAKE 15 DAYS TO TRAVEL BUT MORE LIKELY
JUST TWO OR THREE, AS THERE WAS REGULAR SERVICE BETWEEN GERMANY AND ST.
PETERSBURG.
