    Norddeutscher Postbezirk 1871 (Feb 2): Entire letter from Suhl to Paris, bearing 1869 ½ gr. orange and 2 gr. blue (2) with primarily good perfs, one adhesive separated with scissor cut, tied by clear SUHL despatch cds in black. Interesting cover which made its journey from Suhl with the German Imperial and Fieldpost to the exchange P.O. in Versailles on its way to Paris. Therefore it does not have any French datestamps. Although correctly franked with 4½ gr., it was taxed in Paris with '2' décimes, a procedure which was only in use for mail from the occupied parts of France, not for the German Empire proper.
