My friend asked me if I new anything about this cover and I have to admit I don't. It looks like it sold at some point in time from Michael Rogers. Is any one familiar with this cover and does the flag marking on the back have any meaning?

Thanks for any help you can provide.







Cheers,

Looks like a philatelic cover to me and the flag marking on reverse i believe is a private senders sign. "DK", same like the letters in the name of the sender/recipient of the cover.

Rainer,

Thanks for the info. That is what I was thinking but he wanted a different opinion.

Cheers,

The flag logo on the back reminds me of the Nepalese traders' marks often drawn on earlier Tibet/Nepal covers.  Could this be a modern version of mail sent by a Nepalese merchant operating in Tibet?
