“3 Rdr. 26 Sk.” Turkey Postage due charge mark on unpaid fivefold rate cover without contents sent from Constantinopel (cold turkey) September 29th 1858 via Marseille, Paris, Hamburg and Helsingborg to Wenersborg. The Postal service mast wrongly calculated the postage as 2 Rdr 24 Sk and as no handstamp what available for search a high amount he used the handstamp for 1 Rdr. 24 Sk and filled in a “2” in manuscript in front of the cancel, but he noticed his mistake and crossed it over. The correct due what 3 Rdr. 26 Sk. No handstamp what available for this amount either, so he improvised once more and partly used a handstamp and partly handwrote the correct postage due. Transit cancels on revers: “MARSEILLE XY OCT. 58”, “MARSEILLE A LYON 6 OCT. 58 D”, “PARIS A QUIEVRAIN 7 OCT. 58” and “*K. S. P. A. * Hamburg 9 10 1858”. Very high postage due charge mark for a letter from abroad.
