223 [1941 2.75 mk Mourning (music) for President Kallio] FDC from Helsinki to the U.S.. LaPe 2010 value 65 Euros = US$85 [3/2012]. It appears that a registry label, which had been at lower left, has been removed (not enough postage for foreign registered). Scarce and sought after by thematic collectors. This may only be the second or third example I have had in 38 years!

B31-3 [1938 Skiing Competition semi-postal] VF registered FDC to Sweden. Crease between the stamps; not affecting the stamps and not obvious. The Swedes often did not backstamp registered mail such as this, but the violet "Aviserad" postal stamps on the front indicates that the local Swedish post office notified the recipient that they had mail to pick up; the marking is actually very scarce. Nice round stamp dealer advertising label on reverse. I have only had a few examples of this scarce FDC in 43 years.
