TIENTSIN: 1905 Cover sent registered to Germany franked on the reverse with “KITAI” 20k tied by Tientsin 23.3.05 cds (Tchilinghirian type 5A), and franked on the obverse with War Charity 10k and 3k that were ignored by the P.O. as a philatelic embellishment, with the 10k tied only by the encircled “dotted R” hs, registered label adjacent, Troitskosavsk transit indicating that it was not sent by the Trans-Siberian railway via Manchuria (as it was closed during the Russo-Japanese War), very unusual. Note: The War Charity issue was not distributed to the P.O.s in China. Dealer
