• Destination: Sent via onboard mail and addressed to Assel (near Stade/Hamburg), Germany.
Postal Marks & Condition:
• Special Cachet: Features the beautiful and scarce Golden official flight cachet on the lower left, depicting St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the text "Luftschiff Graf Zeppelin - Englandfahrt - 1932".
• Cancellations: Both stamps are perfectly struck with the crisp, circular "Luftschiff Graf Zeppelin - 2.7.32" onboard datestamps.

A wonderful addition to any specialized collection of Aerophilately, Weimar Republic history, or Zeppelin memorabilia. Rarely found on such a highly relevant thematic passenger-cabin postcard.
I don't combine shippings
