2-10 k. with additional franking tied by cds. "REVAL -2 5 19" (!!) to slightly overpaid registered cover addressed to Mr. Senf in Leipzig, with censor and arrival mark. Studies evaluating the local issue Tallinn seems contradictory. According to the official record of the Estonian Postal Administration, the stamps were overprinted on the 5th of May 1919 and issued on the 7th of May 1919. On the other hand, it is known that the handstamp "Eesti Post" has been delivered to the Postal Administration "around the 27th of April". The production of a total of 14000 stamps within 10 days appears more likely than within two days on May 5th-6th.
