1911 Kiachat (22 Mar) to Russia. CIP 4th print PSC, uprated by Coiling Dragon 1c + 2c, tied by scarce "Mongolia / Kiachta" lunar year cds. Transit Troitskosavsk Russian PO (9 Mar) with Hellrigl type 1b cds, Arrived St. Petersburg (21 Mar). Although Kiachat Chinese PO operated for over a decade, existing examples are very scarce as Hellrigl only recorded 29 examples and AVA reocrded a few more. Usage on imperial stationery card even elevates its rarity.

1911.3.22 恰克圖寄俄國。大清第四版郵資片，加貼蟠龍1分 + 2枌，銷少見之“蒙古 / 恰克圖”腰框干支日戳。3.9經恰克圖俄局。3.21經聖彼得堡。雖然恰克圖中國郵局運作超過十年，但存世例子寥寥可數，Hellrigl記錄僅有29件，艾華另見數件。而使用清片更是錦上添花，可遇不可求。
