Heinrich Köhler 384 Auction – Day 2 Single Lots & Airmail and Zeppelin Mail – inclusive the collection of the Sieger family

1923, 1 a. carmine, Type B, and two copies of 1923, 1 a.carmine, Type C, tied by "DAK RAJ BUNDI" to reverse of 1920, India KGV 1/2 anna postal stationery envelope. This cover proves that the 1 anna carmine stamps in SG Type "B" and Type "C" were issued as early as 1920, not 1923 as stated in the SG catalogue. It is interesting to note that while the sender used the Imperial postal stationery the letter was never handled by the Imperial post.
