Wax Seals - Bank Letter Lithuania-Germany (1936)

Would appreciate any information or suggestion in regard to the German "Post-Horn" Wax Seals.

I'll be anxious to hear what others have to say. I assume the seals are not official but simply attached by the sender to foil any tampering with the letter. Can you make out the lettering in the seal? I'm afraid I can't.

I think the bank seals were there because of the value of the shipment. The cover was also censored, but I have no idea if that is why the German seals were added. It probably was added by the censors, again because of the value of the shipment.
I wished I could tell what it says on the (censor) label.

By the way, the seals that were applied by the censor say "Deutsche Postamt" I believe. That makes me think that the postal authorities were the censors in this case.

Peter

Thanks, Peter. Hopefully the OP will share what the seals say.

Thank you very much for all your replies. I will upload more pics. As a matter or fact, I am fluent in Lithuanian. All the stamps are Lithuanian; the lower two seals belong to Lithuanian post office in Kaunas. The envelope value in 1936 was 100 LTL (Lithuanian currency) - it's a lot; non-educated workers at that time used to make only 3-5 LTL per day. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about the BANK or Wax Seals online (performed research in Lithuanian & English).

The German Wax Seals (post office "77" in Berlin) are unique. The "post horn" can be seen on many German stamps, but it is impossible to find any information about the Wax Seals with this sign. Hopefully, someone knowing German may help.

I love this cover. Bought it just because it looks like a piece of art...)) I am guessing that Wax Seals were put on because of the value of this letter (at least Lithuanian Wax Seal has a text on it with abrevation of the words "evaluated/insured correspondence").
Again, thank you for all replies! Really appreciate.

Aurora, can you tell us what it says on the white label? On the back of the envelope.

Peter

Peter, as much as I understand German, it says something about "open customs" (zollamtlich geöffnet)

I speak German. Please tell us what it says ( in German ) on the white label.

Peter

Let me make a few more pictures.
Danke!! ))

Few more pictures

By the end of the 1930s, German authorities were opening incoming mail from abroad to search for prohibited currency. I don't know if this is an early example of that, but since the letter had a declared value it is probably a more typical case of German customs opening the letter to look at the contents and confirm value (and to assess any applicable customs due), then resealing the envelope with the paper seal and the additional "posthorn" seals. I unfortunately don't read German...

paperhistory, it explains a lot. Thank you!

I believe the small white label reads ( in English ) "For foreign exchange inspection opened by customs".
So yes, these seals were officially applied, something that was done when money or papers of value were sent by mail.
