    Austrian P.O. 1857: "Retour Recipisse" form for a letter to Chotin, Bessarabia, dated June 26th in manuscript, struck with superb circular "ROMAN" handstamp without date inserted (for the previous example, form number 73, used on the same day, see the Corinphila sale of Franz See's collection in May 1979, lot 2341) in brownish-black. An outstanding usage, mentioned in Tchilinghirian on page 462 - the earliest recorded date of use of this handstamp. Extremely rare. Ex collection Sassower.
