USSR 1929 Definitive 1k Large Franking from Nizhny Tagil Ural Mountains - St. 228 / Mi 365A Scarce

SOVIET UNION 1929 DEFINITIVE ISSUE 1 KOPEK: SCARCE LARGE FRANKING

Nizhny Tagil 1932 (10 April) - 1 kopek orange (30), a bloc of thirty on a Domestic Registered envelope to Moscow, paying the correct rate (tariff of 1st June 1931: 15 k + 15 k registration). Cancellation with the postmark "NIZHNYI TAGIL 2  10 4 32 a" (∅ 32mm). Three stamps folded on the edge of the envelope, Very Fine for this kind of envelope.

Rare usage of the 1929 1k Definitive with a very large franking, possibly one of the largest recorded. Exceptional because of the very low probability to use exclusively the smallest facial value to frank a registered item. 

Michel 365Ab (30) (orange shade)

Standard 228 (30)

Note: Nizhny Tagil is located on the Ural Mountains, 25 kilometers east of the geographic border between Europe & Asia, in Siberia.
