    Austrian Post Offices / Crimean War 1855: Fieldpost entire written in 1855 in Neppendorf, a village being today part of Hermannstadt/Sibiu in Transsylvania and sent to Cles, Tyrolia, franked with Austrian 1850/54 3 kr. red and 6 kr. brown, fresh colour and overall fair to large margins all round, each stamp tied by "FELDPOST No. 4 27/6" cds in black (Müller 3442a = 900 points; Tchilinghirian fig. 729), reverse with Vienna and Trient transit cds's (1/7). 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. Cert. Ferchenbauer (2005).rnProvenance: Collection Dr. Anton Jerger
