    1866: 10 pa. brown, perf. 12½, a used block of four on 1867 cover to Cairo paying thje 1 piastre rate, tied by three strikes of "POSTE VICE-REALI EGIZIANE / ZAGASIK" cds's (June 21) in black with information strike at left. Reverse with Cairo arrival cds of the same day. The cover was mailed during the 1 piastre stamp shortage period at the end of June 1867 when the 2 piastre stamp is found bisected in Cairo and Alexandria - it appears by this franking that the shortage also occurred in Zagasik. Small patched repair to envelope at top and one back flap missing but a very rare block on cover. Signed Otto Müller, A. Diena, Holcombe. Cert. Todd AIEP (2023).rnProvenance: Collection Emile Antonini, DF, Zurich, 13 April 1983, lot 32385.

    1866: 2 pi. yellow, perf. 12½, a used vertical pair on cover to Monsieur Kiverk Bay, in Constantinople, honorifically addressed in three languages, most probably posted on board steamer at Alexandria where cancelled by a complete strike of the 81 point 'retta' handstamp in black. The 4 piastre franking represents a quadruple 'Port to Port' franking between Alexandria and Constantinople, but whilst the envelope is large, it could also represent an over-franking to recognise the seniority of the addressee, a frequent practice at this date within the Ottoman empire. A very rare cover. Cert. Todd AIEP (2023).rnProvenance: 'The Royal Collection' of Egypt (Abdullah Mishrick & Tefik Kuyas collections), RL, Basel, 5 Nov 1981, lot 1098; Collection "Cihangir", Corinphila sale 121, May 1999, lot 2515.rn
