1933 FOURTH SOUTH AMERICA FLIGHT
(AAMC # 203; Sieger #223)
This cover is the most Scout related Zeppelin cover seen to date. A registered Hungarian cover franked with a single of the 20 Filler value (Scott's #483) from the set for the Fourth World Boy Scout Jamboree as well as 4 other values (Scott's #471, C27, C32 and C33). It has the special Jamboree Registry label; the stamps are tied by the Jamboree canceled d ,(H-006d) on August 1, 1933, The cover was flown from the Jamboree by the Hungarian Air Scouts as noted by their glider flight cachet in the center of the cover. A special Hungarian cachet is imprinted under the registry label which says "by way of Zeppelin." The next leg of the trip was by airplane to Berlin. This is noted by the flown marking in the lower center of the cover and the zeppelin Berlin transit cachet at the lower right side of the cover as well as a Berlin transit cancel at the top of the cover. The final leg of the cover is noted by the Zeppelin fight cachet at the lower left of the cover. This ties the Jamboree registry label. This is a most remarkable Scout Zeppelin Cover.
1933 SEVENTH SOUTH AMERICAN FLIGHT
FACING PAGE
(AAMC # Z206; Sieger #232B) • September 16 - 26, 1933
The cover is franked on both the front and back with multiples of the Fourth World Jamboree Stamps (Scott's #481 - 5) from Hungary. It was canceled in Budapest on September 11, 1933 and forwarded to Germany arriving on September 13, 1933 where it received a transit cancel in Berlin as well as the a shuttle cachet on the back for Berlin. The regular airmail marking is on the front of the cover in the lower left hand corner. The Zeppelin flight cachet is there as well. A Hungarian marking for the Zeppelin mail is at the center of the cover. The cover was then flown by the Graf Zeppelin to Brazil were a receiving cancel was applied to the front on September 19, 1933. This cover shows the most spectacular usage of the 1933 World Jamboree stamps,
