20g letter to the Reich = 12 Rpf.
Registry fee = 30 Rpf.
Special delivery fee = 40 Rpf.

Luxemburg, 5 March, 1941,
to Munich, 6 March 1941

Here two 3 Rpf. Hindenburgs and a 10 Rpf. Hindenburg are used with eleven (count ‘em!) 6 Rpf./10c Charlotte surcharges.  Who has a commercially used European-size cover correctly franked with more than 14 stamps?
