    1918 (Dec 1): Cover from Mecca to Jeddah carried at concessionary double rate of 32 para (rather than 1 piastre), franked by 1917 1/8 pi. dull purple vertical pair, ½ pi. green and 1 pi. red all tied by "Mecca" arabic only datestamps. Djedda arrival datestamp above. Some peripheral ageing but a very scarce cover-this combination of values is the minimum number of stamps needed to make up this rate. The sole recorded double rate cover carried under the concession.
    Note: For a short time between 1918 and 1920 there was an internal concessionary rate, a discount of 20% from 20 paras to 16 paras for a single letter for mail carried between Mecca, Medina and Jeddah.
