    1866: 2 pi. yellow, perf. 12½, a used vertical pair on cover to Monsieur Kiverk Bay, in Constantinople, honorifically addressed in three languages, most probably posted on board steamer at Alexandria where cancelled by a complete strike of the 81 point 'retta' handstamp in black. The 4 piastre franking represents a quadruple 'Port to Port' franking between Alexandria and Constantinople, but whilst the envelope is large, it could also represent an over-franking to recognise the seniority of the addressee, a frequent practice at this date within the Ottoman empire. A very rare cover. Cert.
