NORWAY-TURKISH EMPIRE, 1857, Lettersheet from Farsund to the Swedish-Norwegian Consul at Constantinople, correctly franked for a single rate letter via Marseille with 1856/57, 2 skilling orange and 4 copies 8 skilling carmine, tied by numeral "63". For some reason the letter was instead transported via Hamburg (5.10.) and Trieste (9.10.) with Constantinope arrival mark of 16.10. Although the transportation via Trieste was 2 skilling more expensive, marked "7¼" (silbergroschen) in red for the total postage beyond the Danish-German border and "f 4¼" (silbergroschen) in blue for the paid postage beyond Trieste. One 8 skilling with marginal tear, the 2 copies at right affected by some creasing where affixed at resp. over the edge of the cover. A still fine and attractive entire; just 2 further Norwegian letters via Trieste to Constantinople have been recorded. Provenance: Bernt Fossum (Moldenhauer-auction, 2004)
