1834 HELSINGØR (Elsineur) to Bordeaux cover, complete with contents, with very attractive markings. The boxed "HELSINgor" (DAKA 1999 #4) postmark is positioned in such a way that the cover has been refolded slightly to show the marking "on the front". Nice Hamburg marking, Thurn and Taxis marking, and French marking. The "HELSINgor" postmark is valued by DAKA 1999 at DKK 6000 = $1260 [6/08] which the then-publisher told me was more of a buying price.) This is a VERY SCARCE postal marking on a very attractive cover.
