1922, Nov. 9. Incoming cover from Berlin to Barranquilla, by train to Bogotá, and then redirected back to another address in Berlin, endorsed "Por hidroavión de Barranquilla a Bogotá", franked by Germany 20m. and SCADTA 20c. black on rose, both tied by Berlin c.d.s.'s on dispatch, showing "Recibos" framed datestamp of Barranquilla alongside. Although the "Consular Overpint" system had been inaugurated in this period, first issue adhesives were very occasionally used on few covers from Germany. A very rare combination cover with very few examples known, with the added significance of an external usage with this first issue adhesive. Scott C14.
