Crown + Eagle 1892 - 10 Para on 5 Pfennig in better color (a!) and 1 1/4 Piaster on 25 Pfennig as well 20 Para on 10 Pfennig as decorative mixed postage on registered mail of an Englishman from Constantinople 1 14/5 92 sent to Vienna, on the back arrival postmark. An interesting post-historical detail in this letter is the use of a British citizen who used Deutsche Post's services, as the British Post Office did not offer direct mail to Austria. The letter would have gone through the distribution point in London and then back to Vienna. Therefore, the letter was just conveyed here with German post office, which led this directly to Vienna, expertized by Steuer, BPP
