Lot 2857
2 pia. yellow, perf 12 ½, a fine example used on 1877 cover to Cairo cancelled by exceptionally rare strike of "POSTE KEDEVIE EGIZIANE / ABE" star and crescent handstamp with second repeated strike at left. Reverse with Cairo arrival cds (July 10). A delightful and rare cover, the cancellation is probably unique on letter.
