The card was not cheap but I instantly fell in love with the clear impression of the cancel. The item is obviously genuine: the historical background clear,\u00a0Russian\u00a0and\u00a0German\u00a0censor marks present.<\/p>\n

Bash Norashen is a rather “old” post station located on the old road to Ordubat and handled – if not much – post items since 1860. Its not directly on the railway line so I assume its importance did not evolve too much. Its is a rather rare cancel.<\/p>\n

The cancel is listed in Zakyian as type number 14. Ashford lists an Bashnorashen “b” cancel with date of use “? 1910 – 1916 ?”. This is a bit irritating because one would assume that an “a” serial should come before a “b” serial stamp. Tchilinghirian does not mention that one at all.<\/p>\n
