    Boule de Moulins / Sacs de Riz, 1871 (14 Jan.): Entire small letter from La Ferté-Vidame, Dept. Eure-et-Loir to Paris, endorsed "par Moulins" with Paris arrival mark (12 Feb.), re-directed to St. Brieuc with arrival mark (20 Feb.). Fine and very scarce, this item was not given to a boule but was transported overland after the end of the Siège as so called 'Sacs de Riz' cover to Paris, interestingly it was franked only with the regular inland rate. Cert. Behr (1997) Yv. = € 3'000 / Maury = € 3'150.
