    1868 (May 7): Outer letter sheet from Vienna sent unpaid to Alexandria with fine strike of Vienna cds in blue and "10 / 10" (5 so. plus 5 so. due for Austria and 10 so. for the Austrian Lloyd) due handstamp in black on front and reverse with Triest transit and an nearly illisible "ALEXANDRIEN 15 / 5" cds of the Austrian Lloyd P.O. in black (Tranmer Fig. 5). This rate fraction mark is unknown in Tranmer and van der Linden but a similar combination of twice "15" (kr.) is shown and described for a 1861 cover from Alexandria to Firenze prior to the 1866 rate unification in Smith - Austrian Post Offices in the Levant, p. 9, an interesting cover.
