The upper left corner was folded over before printing and perforation. Part of the stamp image and upper margin accounting number can be seen on the back.


This may have caused the sheet to be partially perforated again at the bottom.

The printed matter rate was 30 Mrd. Mark up to 50 g of weight from 1 December 1923 on. The letter was postmarked on the last day before this rate went into effect, at 7-8N (between 7 and 8 pm).rod54 wrote:Hi,
I hope this is a reasonable place to post this query.
I found this today when going through some Inflation Covers; but, can not work out the rate.
It would be Tariff #26 so it has a franking value of 4x30Mrd=120Mrd.
I assume it is either PM at 16Mrd or non-Local Letter at 80Mrd plus a surcharge.
Is there a special rate for this type of telegraphic mail? ' As the special delivery town rate (160 Mrd) would be too high for the franking.
Any help would be appreciated

The rate is: International letter, 2nd weight step (up to 40 g) =120 Mrd. Mark plus 20 Mrd. Mark registration fee.Chris55 wrote:I'm sure someone here might have the correct answer but you mentioned the figure 120 Mrd and this was the rate for an Eilsendung between 20.11 and 26.11.1923.
Is it possible that it was simply a mistake?
By the way maybe you could explain what Tarif #26 is. I have looked in my Michel Spezial and googled german philatelic websites and found no reference to this.
I did find an international cover from 24.11.1923 franked with 120 mrd plus 20 mrd for registered mail but this actually had 7x 20 mrd stamps on it and not 35 mrd:
I'm hoping to learn something new here![]()

[http://www.altpostgeschichte.com]Infla Portoperiode 26 vom 26.11.-30.11.1923
Die Portoperiode 26 dauerte 5 Tage vom 26.11.-30.11.1923.
Die Portosätze der PP25 wurden nochmals vervierfacht und es wurden keine neuen Wertstufen mehr herausgegeben.
Die vorhandenen Marken wurden am Postschalter zum 4-fachen Wert verkauft und waren auch zum 4-fachen Wert frankaturgültig. Früher gekaufte Briefmarken werteten ebenso den 4-fachen Nominalbetrag; jedoch waren aufgrund der Erfahrungen der Hyperinflation nur geringe Markenmengen bevorratet.
Belege aus dieser Zeit nennt man Novemberbriefe.
