Russia 1909 Elisavetpol Province Dzhebrail Village - VERY RARE Temporary Postmark

CAUCASUS VILLAGE DZHEBRAIL, ELISAVETPOL PROVINCE : UNIQUE TEMPORARY POSTMARK

Kibarti 1909 (18 December) - Postcard sent to DZHEBRAIL, Elisavetpol Province, a 3k Arms pays the correct rate (tariff of 20 march 1879), with a superb strike upon arrival of the extremely rare double circle handstamp "DZHEBRAIL ELISAV. 30.12.09" (∅ 28mm, unrecorded type in Ashford). Very Fine.

A recent discovery and extremely rare mail with the Dzhebrail temporary post office postmark, probably unique with this canceller type.

Note: Dzhebrail was a small village located in the Susha district of Karabah, first mentionned in the post official lists in 1914 (missing from the 1893 list) as a temporary office. See Ashford´s Imperial Stamps Used in Transcaucasia (see Part Seven, page 467)
