"1 Rdr." + "24 Sk." Postage due charge marks on unpaid triple rate folded letter with contents from Boulogne-Sur-Mer (France) August 5th 1857 sent via Calais, Paris, Hamburg and Stockholm to Neder-Kalix. Transit cancels on reverse: "CALAIS A PARIS 6 AOUT. 57", PARIS 6 AOUT. 57", "PARIS A QUIEVRAIN 6 AOUT. 57", "*K.S.P.A.* HAMBURG 9 8 1857" and "STOCKHOLM 14 AUG 57". Handstamps existed only for single and double rates therefore the postmaster had to improvise and made a combination of the cancels for 1 Rdr. and for 24 Sk. Only three letters are known with this combination of charge marks.
