AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb & rare letter with correspondence in Arabic sent from Lattaquié to Alexandria, with Nos. 13A & 16, canceled by the rare PC 3769 cachet, well struck here!

See the images to discover this lot!

Cote Yvert 2025: 3550 euros

Don't let it pass!

Letters are infinitely rarer than the stamps they bear.

Indeed, those that didn't end up in the trash or in the fireplace fire were most often destroyed over the past 170 years by collectors who wanted to retrieve the stamps!

Personally, I find that complete letters are infinitely more interesting than stamps alone because a letter often tells a story or a journey!

Seller's Story

The indicated fees of 6 or 9 euros are for preparing and sending the lots. Shipments are made either by tracked letter or by registered letter for high-value lots. Purchases made during the same sales session (on the same sale day) can be combined into a single shipment, except for lots consisting of multiple dozens of letters (such as a lot containing 30 letters, for example, due to weight). Furthermore, I disclaim any responsibility regarding the description of my sales made by the Artificial Intelligence they installed on Catawiki. I invite you to refer solely and exclusively to my description, and only that one. You can see all my ongoing sales by clicking on my username Judd3705. Happy bidding!
