In a really big lot, I have found these 2 more interesting than others... the first one (Württemberg) has been sent via Railway mail from (Bahnpost) Stuttgart to Tübingen, and the 2nd (the stampless one) is sent from Berlin to Florence (Italy) via some Polish cities (Ratibor, Breslaw).

It looks like the Florence cover went through Laibach on the 15th of March, and was in Florence the next day? Am I reading those right?

I don't know how I have missed that Laibach postmark... missing the obvious... Ljubljana (ger. Laibach) is less than 1 hour of driving from me... have been a dozen of times there. Thank you, Cjd. From Laibach to Florence, distance is much more, of course... but, it looks that they already have been connected via Austrian monarchy railways those days ("Banhof Laibach"). Still extremely fast... from Laibach to Florence only in one day

Thanks for looking, PoStat4evR!

looks to me like the Laibach postmark is the 13th, not the 15th. 3 days seems more realistic.

I guess I could buy a "13"...I feel "15" fits better.

I agree with Cjd... number "3" in month is different shaped than the 2nd cypher in date. Upper number looks like (1)5.
