    Austrian Shipmail, Port Markings for Ship letters, Adriatic Sea 1862 (Sep 14): Entire letter from Sebenico to Borgo S. Lorenzo nearby Acquapendente in the Papal States, bearing 1861 3 kr. green, 5 kr. red and 15 kr. blue, tied upon despatch by two strikes of two-line "SEBENICO / COL VAPORE" handstamp in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 21 / Müller 3423g = 36 points), the rightmost stamp in addition by "A 3." postal treaty handstamp. Front struck by "BOLLO INSUFFICIENTE" handstamp. Reverse with MILANO and FIRENZE transit as well as ACQUAPENDENTE arrival (Sept 21) cds's in black. An interesting and desirable destination from the Adriatic harbours.rnNote: Correctly paid 23 kr. rate in the new March 1861 postal treaty between Austria and the Papal States with 15 kr. for Austria and 8 kr. foreign postage. The taxation is not entirely explainable to the describer. Presumably the entire was erroneously directed to another Borgo S. Lorenzo situated nearby Firenze, which is suggested by the Firenze transit cds on reverse and the senseless "A 3." handstamp on front. In this case this would have been an entire from the third Austrian to the second Italian rayon which had to be franked with 26 kr. and was therefore underfranked. In Firenze the in someway confusing endorsement "Italia / Stato Pontifico" was finally understood and the entire was directed to Borgo S. Lorenzo nearby Acquapendente in the Papal States. The receiver did obviously not pay any due.
