1939 (15 Aug..) commercial envelope from the German Factory in Shanghai to Berlin by "Air Mail", bears $1.25 franking tied by Shanghai c.d.s. and grey-blue Par Avion etiquette. First sent via Hong Kong with Victoria (18.8) backstamp, censored in France with "retour/a l'envoyeur" and "Réexpedié de Shanghai par voie ordinaire/après avoir été retouteé en Londres" struck in blue and in purple respectively (the first crossed through with blue crayon). After its return to Shanghai it was sent again to Germany by the Siberian route and with German censor seal on the reverse. An interesting and much travelled cover. Photo
