Los-Nr. 1283

1809, "N°14 ARM. D´ITALIE" rather faint strike in red on folded entire from Raab, Hungary to a marshal of the empire "à la Grande Armée", redirected to the army of Spain, initial tax barred and red "N°1 ARM. D´ALLEMAGNE" applied on reverse as a Déboursé mark, the recipient being a high official the letter was considered a service mail. A delightful and rare combination (illustrated in Giribone & Vollmeier on page 596)
