    1903: Panama Republic Overprint, 20 c. violet, red first republic overprint, used on cover, Panama to Hamburg, Germany, dated 9 November 1903, tied by Panama duplex, on arrival in Germany a handstamp applied which states "Ohne Marke / Eingegangen" (Recieved Without a Stamp) which indicates that one stamp had apparently fallen off the cover prior to arrival in Germany (the duplex postmark confirming this by the rectangular shape missing to the right of the stamp), to the back a Hamburg arrival dated 2 December 1903, reduced slightly at left, vertical filing crease well clear of adhesive, closed tear to bottom flap and perfs. trimmed top of 20c. Rare and intriguing example. Just two covers sent on 9th are recorded. rnNote: The Scott catalogue indicates that 16 November is the official first day, although Dr Helme stated that the 9 November would be the first day of issue.rn
