    First Issue 1866: 1 pi. claret, perf. 12½ (pos. 179), a used example on 1866 cover to Alexandria tied by superb strike of "Poste Vice-Reali Egiziane / Cairo" cds, struck in red (Aug 14), with equally fine information strike at right. Reverse with "Poste Vice-Reali Egiziane / Alessandria" cds in blue (Aug 15). Extremely rare: the datestamp in red was in use sporadically for circa one month in this colour. Signed Todd AIEP.
