This item of the month was sent in by Piet van den Berg, Netherlands
This item is an excellent example of a postally used cover with a single stamp from the 1963 Volleyball issue from Romania, sent from Botosani in Romania to Duchov in Czechoslovakia. Since it is a registered cover it could even be the correct postal rate of 3.20 Lei.
Congratulations on this beautiful cover, Piet !
