IRAN Cover sent from Sir Henry Rawlinso
1841 Cover sent from Sir Henry Rawlinson at Kandahar, to Sir John McNeill at Constantinople, via Bombay, where the framed FORWARDED/BY/REMINGTON & CO and red oval INDIA handstamps were applied. This agent paid "9" annas for the transit service to Suez via the steamship Auckland, and this letter entered the French mail system at ALEXANDRIA. On arrival at Constantinople, a collection of 12 decimes was required for a letter weighing between 7 1/2 and 10 grams. A very rare and exceptional cover from the British occupation period.
