    South Bulgaria 1885: Stampless Military concession cover from Plovdiv to Turnovo Seimen struck at right with two circular Military cachets, one of the Plovdiv Military Command and the other of the Military Command Supply Office, struck with PHILIPPOPLE datestamp (II/XI) in black. Some graffiti at lower left and creased in centre but of great scarcity. South Bulgarian Troops were awaiting an attack from Ottoman Turks which, in the event, never materialised. A very rare cover.

    Note: In September 1885 Nationalists mounted a coup in Eastern Roumelia and united their country with Bulgaria. Milan Obrenoviv IV of Serbia declared War on Bulgaria three days after this cover was mailed. The Serbs were defeated by Alexander I at the Battle of Slivnitsa three days later, on November 17-19, 1885.
