Corinphila Auction 291-297 Day 3

1924 (March 8): Express envelope from Warsaw to Prague-Smichov, bearing 1924 Arms issue 500'000 mk. dark brown, a single example and a vertical strip of three and 200'000 mk light blue (Fischer 179+177), tied by "WARSZAWA 2" cds's in black, reverse with SMICHOV arrival  (March 11) cds. The correct special rate to Czechoslovakia with express surcharge would have been 1'550'000 mk. in the tariff of March 1-15, 1924, the overpayment of 2'200'000 mk can be explained by the short duration of the rates in that period of hyperinflation. Following Mr. Petriuk, the largest franking known of the 500'000 mk. adhesives, cert. Petriuk PZF (2022).
