The only cover known bearing any vignette of this provisional issue and addressed to a foreign destination -its significance is reinforced by the fact that very few vignettes with typewritten surcharge were produced-, and the desirability of this cover is further enhanced by the very rare usage of the C.C.N.A. handstamp of the Medellín Agency (as also stated by Eugenio Gebauer in his catalogue on page 41). One of the greatest aerophilatelic rarities of Colombia. Gebauer 24. Ex Jacobo Neuburger.
