Franked with 7k (horizontally laid paper), tied by ""Urga"" double oval departure date-stamp (Month above Day), with other markings and red chops. Scarce date-stamp Type 3b (Tchilingirian & Stephen). According to Tchilingirian & Stephen the earliest date recorded for this type of date-stamp is 19.XI.1882. This cover has an even earlier date - 19.X.1882, so it should be the earliest recorded date for now. 1882 г. (19 окт.) конверт с красной лентой адресованный из Ургы, Монголия, в Пекин, Китай. Франкирован 7 копейками (горизонтальный вз). Редкий тип гашения - Тип 3b (Чилингирян и Стивен). Согласно Чилингириану и Стивену, самой ранней датой, записанной для этого типа штемпеля является 19.XI.1882 г (19 Ноября 1982), см. скан 5. У штемпеля на этом конверте еще более ранняя дата - 19.X.1882 (19 Октября 1982), что делает этот конверт самым ранним известным конвертом с использованием этого типа гашения. УНИКУМ."
