AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A first-flight airmail letter from Albania. Route Tirana – Vlona on 30 May 1925. Flights in Albania during this period were often carried out by foreign companies. It is highly likely that this letter was transported by the Italian airline “Società Aerea Mediterranea (SAM)” which operated the first airmail connections in Albania. This type of domestic routes were pioneering lines and often irregular or experimental. SAM at that time frequently flew with the aircraft type Ansaldo SVA.
On the envelope are the departure stamp “Tirana Posta Aeronautica 30.5.25” and the arrival stamp “Vlone Posta Aerea 30-5.25”; same-day delivery. The purple cachet reads Par Avion with a winged symbol that is specific to this flight.
The postage is correct: 20 qindar for the air mail fee and 10 gindar as the normal rate for domestic delivery. The air mail rate is covered by the first series air mail stamps.
