1897 Shanghai (17 Sep) to Mr. F Salzmann, Switzerland, f.w. Red Revenue surch large figre 4c/3c (Chan 89) for double printed matter rate, tied by Shanghai dollar cds. In combination with Coat of Arms 7k, tied by Shanghai Russian PO (4 Sep) with T&S type 1 cds in violet. Transit Shanghai BPO (18 Sep), Hong Kong (21 Sep). Arrived Bern (22 Oct). Despite philatelic given the addressee, single franking of Red Revenue 4c and combination with Russian stamps is very appealing. Combination with Russian stamps is the rarest combination for Red Revnue covers as there is only one example recorded in "The Revenue Surcharges China 1897" by Directorate General of Posts, ROC. 2024 (May-Jun) Interphila Auction, lot 806. With swissasia-philately certificate.1897.9.17 上海寄瑞士F.
