    10 bani indigo (Transfer type 2) and 15 bani orange, fresh colours and ample to enormous margins, tied by "T. SEVERIN DIM 14/12" (1871) cds (Kiriac T69 fig. 483) to envelope to Bucharest with framed "P.D." alongside, reverse with Austrian "ALT-ORSOVA 15/12" transit and Romanian thimble "BUCURESCI 21 DEC 71" arrival cds's. Some toning and file fold away from the stamps, reverse with handwritten calculations, but a very interesting cover. Although an inland cover by definition it was first sent from Turnu Severin to the harbour of Orsova in Hungary where it was given to a ship to be mailed down the Danube and then onwards to Bucharest. Therefore, this cover had to be franked with the 25 bani rate for letters abroad instead of the 10 bani inland rate. An unusual usage rarely seen.
