The cover with some opening tears at top and both stamps showing significant plate flaws - the 25 bani with a dash of orange in the margin at upper right and the 50 b. with clear evidence of re-touching behind King Carol's head in the vignette. Strasbourg entry mark in blue at right (June 5). A rare and appealing franking.
