1949 (Oct 24) Sihong, Shensito Chungking triple-weight airmail double registered cover,

bearing eleven Shensi Postal District domestic unit stamps and one airmail unit stamp, paying a total of 65 fen, tied by Sihong cds “38.10.24”. The franking represents the combined triple airmail and double registered rate, in accordance with the domestic airmail and registration tariff in force at the time. After dispatch, the cover was routed via Chungking (1949-10-30) and Shapingpa (1949-10-31), showing a clear and well-documented internal transmission route. This cover constitutes a representative commercial usage of combined airmail and registration services during the early Silver Yuan transitional period, illustrating the continued operation of inland postal networks after the war, and demonstrating the practical application of multiple postal services. A desirable postal history item with exhibition and research value. Some stamps faulty, still rare.
