375rd Heinrich Köhler auction - Day 1

Ferslew 4 rbs., plate 1, pos. 12, tied by target cancel to lettersheet from "KJØBENHAVN 6/7 1851" to Veile. The cover was endorsed "fr." in the lower left corner which was contrary to the regulations and normally the cover would have been charged with 2 skilling payable by the recipient. In this case the sender was contacted (either due to the name on the wax seal on the reverse or by advertising in 'Berlingske Politiske og Avertissementstidende') and the remaining "2" skilling were paid in cash at the post office. An outstanding 4 rbs. letter of great importance for Danish postal history. Certificate Nielsen (2005)
