Los-Nr. 525

January – February 1918 Two ordinary letters addressed to the mail exchange point on the German-Russian front line at Zastava Libeka on the Riga - Walk highway. Both in the same handwriting but one sent from RIGA 23 1 18 with German Ob Ost  20 Pf franking, the other from MOSKVA 14 2 18 [First day of the New Style calendar] with 15 kop franking but returned because written in Cyrillic rather than Latin script. It is unclear how to interpret these rare items other than to say that they relate to the exchange of mail authorised by the Armistice. Collector’s detailed notes included
