    1872: 10 bani blue, perf. 12½, a fine used example on 1872 entire letter to Braila, endorsed "Cu Vaporu" (by ship) and thus travelled down the Danube by D.D.S.G. vessel, tied by good strike of scarce BECHET datestamp (April 1) in blue (Kiriac fig. 375). File fold well away from the adhesive, reverse with Braila arrival cds (April 3) in black. Scarce and attractive entire, believed to be the sole example of a 'cu Vaporu' cover not from the Farranga correspondence. Signed Heimbüchler.
