franked with four Kwangsi Silver Yuan surcharged stamps totaling 11 fen (5 fen domestic letter rate + 6 fen airmail fee), tied by Kweilin “38.7.5” cds, with arrival in Taipei on Jul 10, 1949. This cover correctly pays the combined 11 fen rate under the special Kwangsi postal tariff in force from May to Jul 1949. At this time, Kwangsi maintained a local rate structure differing from the national standard, representing a regional adjustment during the early Silver Yuan postal period. An actual airmail usage from Kweilin to Taiwan, illustrating the operation of inland-to-Taiwan air routes under wartime conditions, and reflecting the interaction between local tariff policies and airmail services, of clear postal history and exhibition value.
