INDIA-SWITZERLAND, 1855, Part-paid lettersheet (one side flap missing) from Calcutta to Teufen near St. Gallen, part-paid to Alexandria with 2 copies 1854/55, lithographs 4 annas red/blue, 2nd printing, cut to shape, tied by rhomboid of dots; on reverse red "CALCUTTA ... FEB. 1855" and on front boxed "INDIA PAID" and Austrian postage due notation "9/9" (kreuzer c.m. for the conveyance from Alexandria to Triest and from Triest to the Swiss border), changed in "18/6" kreuzer, including 6 kreuzer (= 20 rappen) Swiss inland postage. In fact Teufen was situated in the 1st Swiss rayon and required only 10 rappen inland postage, so a total of "90" rappen in red crayon was charged to the recipient. A very fine and interesting entire (SG 19)
