The 3 kr. - stamp touched at base and with fold, but a charming and interesting item. This Fieldpost no. 4 datestamp was issued for a military unit which should have taken part in the occupation of the Principalities during the Crimean War, but this cover proves information given in the literature (Clement, Tchilinghirian) that it remained in Hermannstadt extending the known time range from May to June 1855. Even at that late time point, the sender writes to his mother to direct any letters further on to Hermannstadt. The sender seems to be Julius Aloys Karl Hubert zu Spaur und Flavon, Earl of Spaur und Flavon (1829-1907), the addressee was his mother Elisabeth Ceschi a Santa Croce (1803-1874), born Mühlstetter.
