It is addressed to Metz in the Lorraine, in what is now France. On the cover a script on a separate piece of paper was taped to it. I recognize it as old German which my great grandfather wrote and understood, but I am afraid I cannot read it. Can someone translate it? I have been looking for a cover from communist Bavaria for years and am so happy to have gotten one, even if the cancel is light. Login to Like this post canalzonepostalhistory.wordpress.com

Dieser Kenmerk ist vom Absender zu unterschreiben. Translated: only allowed with the remark "commercial correspondenxe". This remark needs to be added by the sender. In other words: this is an example of the finest German bureaucracy. The sender used the wrong header and therefore the letter was returned. 1 Member likes this post.
