  - 1868 stampless yellow cover from Prussia 'Pr overland Mail via Marseille' with very fine 'ALTONA/ F /25 2/68/5-6N' cds in red

  Symbol: C Grade: B
• Notes:
  Until 1864, Altona was Danish territory. In that year, the Danish provinces of Schleswig & Holstein were ceded to Prussian administration, & three years later both duchies were absorbed into Prussia. This cover is therefore very early in the period of Altona being Prussian territory.
