1929 Altanbulak (Feb) to stamp dealer M.F. Shooliack, Harbin.
Registered cover, f.w. Mongolian 1st issue $1 with fiscal use
circular red seal on front while 5c x3 + 1 dropped stamp on
reverse, tied by Altanbulak cds. In combination with USSR issue x3,
tied by Troitskosavsk (6 Feb) cds. Cover opened out for display.
Mongolian 1st issue were once overprinted for fiscal use. Examples
on cover were very scarce. This example was recorded by Hellrigl
but probably philatelic given the addressee and combination
franking with USSR stamps instead of Chinese postage due issue.

1929.2 阿勒坦布拉格寄哈爾濱郵商M. F. Shooliack。掛號封,正貼蒙古第一版1元加蓋印花用紅色圓戳,背貼5分x3 +
一枚掉票,銷阿勒坦布拉格日戳。加貼蘇聯票3枚,銷恰克圖2.6日戳。封剖開以作展示。蒙古第一版票曾被加蓋紅色圓戳以作印花稅票使用,貼於信封上作郵票的例子十分珍罕。此封見於Hellrigl記錄中,但由於收件人身份以及混貼蘇聯票而非中國欠資票,故應為集郵封。Hellrigl著《The
