Entire letter from Ibraila to Constantinople, struck with clear "D.D.S.G IBRAILA / PP" in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 802) , an attractive strike from the well-known Zafiropulo correspondence, light horizontal file fold not distracting from the appealing appearance of this entire letter, in addition an elusive usage.rnNote: Tchilinghirian & Stephens mention that this handstamp was probably manufactured in Constantinople for fully prepaid covers with markings existing only for the offices in Constantinople, Galatz, Ibraila and Varna, starting in August 1844 making this item a very early usage. The Lloyd Agency and Consular Office only opened in September 1845 and took over the deep water services from the DDSG which restricted its services to the Danube and the route to Odessa.

Reise" struck in blue (Tchilinghirian fig. 326). A scarce cancellation of particularly fine quality.rnNote: The 'Reise' Trip Number datestamps may have been used on the boats 'Giurgevo' and 'Sulina'. This was a shuttle service from Romanian grain loading ports on the lower Danube. Whilst the handstamps are found on D.D.S.G. covers, largely during 1870, they were in use on the Parcel stamps for a few more years, probably until 1875. It is speculated that they were designed to handle packages through Customs / Border Control, as five towns named on the Parcel stamps are on national borders.rnProvenance: Collection J. P.
