    1886 (Feb 3): Part envelope from Anchialos in former Eastern Roumelia to Constantinople, bearing 1882/85 Large Lion 10 st. rose and 15 st. dark lilac tied by bilingual Eastern Roumelia style cds in blue, taxed in Turkey with 'T' in circle handstamp on front. Reverse two 20 pa. stamps paying twice the deficiency, Constantinople arrival (Feb 21, gregorian) cds alongside. Left part of cover missing, one 20 pa. adhesive defective, otherwise an interesting taxation in Turkey of a cover from Eastern Roumelia and franked with Bulgarian adhesives as the unification of Bulgaria and eastern Roumelia in 1885 was not accepted by the Turish government. Opinion Penev (2020).
