Note that there were two more of these cancels:- a pictorial postmarker used by the RPV private mail company, indicating the Hoyerswerda location; - the Biberpost cancellation, applied in green and in blue, citing no location; - and a so-called "Infopost" machine cancellation used by Deutsche Post (German Postal administration).    ------------------
