167, 154. 1876. 40 cts chestnut and 5 cts green. BURGOS to BAYONNE (FRANCE). The War Tax stamp was unnecessary for letters addressed abroad, in addition, as of January 1, 1876, the new UPU rates were already applicable, so this letter should have circulated with 25 cts, and not with the old rate of 40 cts. MAGNIFICENT AND EXTRAORDINARILY RARE POSTAGE.
