    1869: 10 bani blue, a fine used example (Transfer Type 2), tied by CALAFATUL datestamp (16/1) in green (Kiriac fig. 341) to 1871 entire letter from Calafat to Braila (Faranga correspondence), not sent by DDSG ship down the Danube but travelling via land. Reverse with CRAIOVA cds (17/1) in green (Kiriac fig. 386), 'BUCURESCI DUP'AMIADI datestamp (20/1) in black (Kiriac fig. 433) and Braila cds of receipt (21/1). A few imperfections on reverse but a fine and very rare entire.rnNote: In this and past Romania sales at Corinphila, we have discussed the DDSG ship covers from the Faranga correspondence between Calafat and Braila and attention is drawn to the Gabriel Sassower articles in the London Philatelist on the subject. This is the first cover we have offered where the cover has travelled by the much slower land route (5 days instead of one day), due to the January date of the letter and a frozen Danube: a contemporary report in the 'Irish Times' stating that travel on the Danube was 'impractible' on the week in question due to the 'exceedingly rough weather'.

    1869: 10 bani indigo (Transfer type 2) and 15 bani orange, fresh colours and ample to enormous margins, tied by "T. SEVERIN DIM 14/12" (1871) cds (Kiriac T69 fig. 483) to envelope to Bucharest with framed P.D. alongside, reverse with Austrian "ALT-ORSOVA 15/12" transit and Romanian thimble "BUCURESCI 21 DEC 71" arrival cds's. Some toning and file fold away from the stamps, reverse with handwritten calculations, but a very interesting cover. Although an inland cover by definition it was first sent from Turnu Severin to the harbour of Orsova in Hungary where it was given to a ship to be mailed down the Danube and then onwards to Bucharest. Therefore, this cover had to be franked with the 25 bani rate for letters abroad instead of the 10 bani inland rate. An unusual usage rarely seen.
