Samarang. 1864, 10 cent red on Chinese letter from sub-post office Japara to Samarang. Stamp with wide margins on all sides, attractively tied by greyish black framed FRANCO (struck in Japara) and half-round franco cancel Samarang type I 11.9 1868 with an additional strike on the letter front (struck on arrival). Sent from Japara sub-post office in Central Java with rare red JAPARA line mark (12 mm) on back. A very appealing Chinese folded letter with the characteristic red chops struck across front and back, with the full content preserved. Stamp in perfect condition, letter with a black ink stain affecting front and back. Unusually, two additional strikes of the red Chinese chop have been struck on the stamp diagonally in left corners. Japara is located 50 km north-east of Samarang; a sup-post office began operation in 1864 and became a full post office in March 1877. The small line marking of 12 mm is different from that recorded 1864-1877 in red of 33 mm, in Bulterman, Nederlands-Indie Langstempels 1864-1950.
