Title: Swiss Redirection Cachet
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on March 31, 2021, 11:41:32 AM
Team

Probably a very slim chance but has anyone come across this cachet before?

Atza B. DINITCH Genève - Suisse, Casse M.B 3064

I have this mark on a Post Card from CROIX ROUGE SERBE (Zurich) into Corfu Datelined 12 1 17  Received May 1917.

Scans attached.

PS Google gives very little.

Found this on Google with the following description:

1917.05.27, Mail between Occupied Serbia & Serbian Military: 8h postal card stationery from occupied Serbia uprated with 2x10h, sent from K.u.K.

Thanks Peter

I'd assume that its an organisation / business connected with the Serbians.

Chris,

I think you are correct with this.

I have seen the cachet before, but simply thought this to be a commercial address cachet in Switzerland (it looks like so many others).

Having further looked for images on the web and gone through some old auction lists, I can only find it used linked to Serbian covers/cards, so clearly some form of forwarding address. I have not managed to find anything addressed to Atza Dinitch, yet!
