"34 Sk" Postage due charge mark on unpaid folded letter with contents from Malta December 1st 1858 to Stockholm and then readdressed to Nyköping. Transit cancels on reverse: "MALTA DEC XY 58", "PARIS A QUIEVRAIN 10 DEC 58 A", "*K.S.P.A.* HAMBURG 12 12 1858" as well as manuscript notation "Forwarded by ..." on backflap. The monetary change from Skillings to öre was introduced on july 1st 1858, new handstamps took some time to be delivered and Postmasters therefore continued to use the old ones. This postage due charge mark, struck on december 10th, is the latest one recorded.
