Regarding to Mr. Ferchenbauer this is the only usage of Austrian kreuzer stamps of the 1861 definitive issue in the Holyland prior to the introduction of the 1863/64 soldi definitives, an attractive and most interesting precursor usage. Certs. Eichele (2014); Ferchenbauer (2016) Ferchenbauer = RRR.rnProvenance: Houser collection.
