    1844 (July 21). Entire letter from Ibraila to Constantinople, struck with clear "D.D.S.G IBRAILA / PP" in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 802) , an attractive strike from the well-known Zafiropulo correspondence, light horizontal file fold not distracting from the appealing appearance of this entire letter, in addition an elusive usage.rnNote: Tchilinghirian & Stephens mention that this handstamp was probably manufactured in Constantinople for fully prepaid covers with markings existing only for the offices in Constantinople, Galatz, Ibraila and Varna, starting in August 1844 making this item a very early usage. The Lloyd Agency and Consular Office only opened in September 1845 and took over the deep water services from the DDSG which restricted its services to the Danube and the route to Odessa. This postmark can be found up to 1865, even as an obliterator on DDSG adhesives.rnProvenance: Collection Arsman, DF sale (May 2005), lot 20168.
