IX. 1933" bilingual c.d.s., violet flight cachet, routed through Friedrichshafen with transit c.d.s., Pernambuco receiving c.d.s. on the front, very fine and choice; an extremely rare Zeppelin cover from this African country possessing great eye appeal (Sieger €1,000; Michel #343a).

382 c Sieger #238Aaa imageSieger #238Aaa, 1933 Chicago Flight, a handsome and extremely rare registered cover from the very elusive country of Ethiopia, three air posts are tied by "21. IX. 1933/Harrar" bilingual c.d.s., flown on the leg to Brazil and routed through Friedrichshafen though this cover lacks the Friedrichshafen transit through an oversight in the post office at Friedrichshafen, red German flight cachet, backstamped Pernambuco, very fine; the covers of Ethiopia are among the rarest of the treaty-state posting and this particular flight is among the scarcest and most desired of the few flights for which covers were prepared (Sieger €2,250; Michel #347a).

IX. 30" bilingual c.d.s. with additional strike at left, light violet flight cachet, backstamped Friedrichshafen the next day, very fine; this rare variety is a result of an error in a single position on the sheet causing only 500 to be printed, however after 200-300 were sold the remainder were returned, covers are great rarities with only a very few being recorded and particularly so in a desirable vertical pair with a normal overprint; signed Arthur Falk and accompanied by his 1995 certificate (Sieger €8,000, Michel 128AdI).
