    1921 (Nov. 4): Typewritten Surcharge 'VALOR $0.10'  in red on 50 c. pale green tied by oval green Girardot Scadta Agency handstamp on envelope, additionally franked with two marginal horizontal pairs of Colombia 1917 ½ c. bistre and single 1 c. green cancelled by "NEIVA / Nov. 4 1921" datestamps, showing additional Girardot SCADTA cachet with two fine strickes of  violet straight-line NAVEGACION AEREA NEIVA alongside on reverse. No official confirmation for the typewritten surcharges could be found in the Scadta archives, but Eugenio Gebauer states in his handbook: "There are many Dr. Behr-Heyder covers known, which must be considered as genuine." Cert. Sismondo (2005). Scott = $ 2'000.
