    Austrian Naval  Forces 1869 (Jan 3): Entire letter from the Naval Commander of the 3rd. Division in Cattaro addressed to the Captain of the Gunboat "S.M.S. Reka" at Pisano, struck with framed cachet "K.K. ESKADRE / COMANDO" handstamp in black. A seldom seen cachet from the Cattaro Headquarters. Unfortunate arricator also on obverse but very scarce. Ex collection Keith Tranmer.rnNote: The "S.M.S Reka" was involved at the Battle of Lissa in 1866. The letter reprimands the Reka's Captain for sending personnel on leave without arranging for replacements. He also comments on the fortunate timely transfer of replacements from the "S.M.S. Andreas Hofer", more by accident than design to keep up the ship in readiness and up to strength.rn
