Bucharest 1867: 10 s. blue, a used example on 1868 single rate cover to Wattwyl, St. Gallen, Switzerland, tied by "BUCAREST" circular datestamp (Sept 22) in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 714). Reverse with Vienna cds (Sept 26) and Wyl arrival cds (Sept 28) in black. A rare cover - underfranked by 5 soldi (the rate to Switzerland had been reduced to 15 soldi on 1 September 1868) and the clerk probably did not notice the stamp was in this currency rather than the 'normal' kreuzer. Slight reduced soiling and small faults but a scarce cover - the sole such recorded.Ausruf : 400 CHFZuschlag : 400 CHF
