1899 (9 May) much travelled envelope addressed to a missionary in Hock Schuha, China, bearing pair of German Eagle 10pf. tied by Baden-Baden c.d.s.; the postmarks on the reverse include the Marine Sorter "
A fine and very colourful cover. Proud records only one date for this mark though this is now thought to be one of only two recorded examples. A superb cover for the connoisseur. Photo
