1871, 'Tofarvede', front cover from Copenhagen to Næstved with the very rare 2 Sk. light blue-grey / ultramarine in line perforation 12½, in mixed franking with the 2 Sk. perforated 14:13½, both 1st printing period. Stamps each with small defects - the photo certificate Nielsen (1986) mentions a small tear at top right of the 12½ stamp, which is hardly noticeable, the 14:13½ stamp has a corner defect at top left. Stamps cancelled with three-ring postmark '1', Copenhagen town postmark next to it. On the reverse, Dr Debo confirms the details of the certificate in 1987; the combination of both perforations on one letter (or front) is in his opinion an extraordinary rarity, if not unique. ÷ 1871, "Tofarvede", Briefvorderseite aus Kopenhagen nach Næstved mit der sehr seltenen 2 Sk. hellblaugrau / ultramarin in Linienzähnung 12½, in Mischfrankatur mit der 2 Sk. gezähnt 14:13½, beide 1. Druckperiode. Marken jeweils kleine Mängel - das Fotoattest Nielsen (1986) spricht bei der 12½-Marke von einem kleinen Riß rechts oben, der kaum wahrzunehmen ist, die 14:13½-Marke hat oben links Eckfehler. Marken entwertet mit Dreiringstempel "1", Ortsstempel Kopenhagen nebengesetzt. Auf der Rückseite bestätigt Dr. Debo 1987 die Angaben des Attests; die Kombination beider Zähnungen auf einem Brief (bzw. Vorderseite) sei eine außerordentliche Seltenheit, wenn nicht gar Unikat.
