    Entire letter to Itzkany Bukovina, franked with 2 bani yellow orange, a single and a pair (Transfer Types 5 + 1-2) and 3 bani violet, a single and a pair (Transfer types 5 + 2-3), fresh colours with mostly ample to large margins, one 2 bani stamp shaved at left, tied by "GALATI  3 JAN 72" cds's, reverse with "ITZKANY BAHNHOF 6 1 72" arrival cds. The most "common" two-colour-frankings of the 3 bani are combinations with the 15 bani to pay the 1868 inland letter rate and with 2 bani to pay the receipt rate. There are few frankings known sent abroad or on registered letters but this is the only usage known to the describer which pays the 15 bani local cross-border rate to Austria. Insignificant imperfections but an exceedingly rare usage; cert. Heimbüchler (2014).
