    1871: 10 bani orange-yellow, a fine example in a vivid shade with ample to large margins, used on outer lettersheet from the Faranga correspondence to Braila tied by "CALAFAT / SERA 4 / 10" datestamp (Kiriac fig. 447) in blue with framed "P.D." in the same shade at left, reverse with "BRAILA DIM 6 / 10" arrival cds. Carried with high probability by the Danube Steamer in spite of a lacking endorsement such as "Cu Vaporu", as an overland delivery via Craiova was impossible within 36 hours.rnReference: Sassower, Gabriel, "Rumania: The manuscript endorsements Cu Vaporu", London Philatelist, Volume 87 pp96-102, RPSL, July-August 1978; discussed in Heimbüchler II - United Principalities 1862 - 1872 on page 267.
