Hello,
German marks have always been a headache for me so I'd like to ask the collective wisdom on TSF for help on this matter.
I'm bringing two similar examples:
One postal stationery sent from Caracas, Venezuela to somewhere in Germany (address erased) on 23/Nov/93(?).
As far as I can see, it went to France via Paquebot, line D, where it received its transit mark on 27/Nov/93. It arrived to Paris on 19/Dec/93.
From there, it was sent through (something, rail?) to Germany, where it received either a transit or a reception mark that I can't understand.
I've always assumed the first line is the line or ID of whatever thing delivered the mail, in this case L-13. Next line "Day Month", in this case 20/Dec. Third (6-7N) and fourth (f)... not the faintest clue.
How off am I?
The next example is very similar:
Another postal stationery sent from Caracas, Venezuela, to Leipzig, Germany on 11/Dec/1888
It seems to me that it traveled only on german ships. L.3 9-10V and T(?) 6-7N.
Any help on these two, please?
