    Soyaniquilpan ½ r. blue, the wonderful horizontal strip of four on cover, without District overprint, from the Escandron correspondence to Mexico City, with large margins all round and superb but for a contemporary scissor cut below second stamp; all tied by two strikes of the SOYANIQUILPAN straight line handstamp (Schatzkes fig. 1546) in black. Soyaniquilpan received just 820 stamps of the ½ real value and this cover shows the largest multiple franking on letter. The cover with sensible internal protection along file folds, a magnificent rarity of the issue.
