    Szighetvar provisional usage 1869 (Nov. 29): Indicium 5 kr. red from the stationery envelope, punched out by the postmaster of Szigethvar and used instead of definitive stamps, tied by "SZIGETHVAR 29. / XI" cds to piece. An interesting and attractive example of this rarity, cert. Puschmann (2001) Ferchenbauer = € 2'000.rnNote: The usage of stationery cut outs was forbidden since 1861, this ban was renewed in 1866 which results in the rarity of 1867 cut outs in general. Private customers of the post and - like in this case - officials tried to reduce their stocks of unloved stationery envelopes by masking the cout outs with a more or less elaborated 'perforations'.
