We are lucky that this cover carries a reverse imprint of the arrival postmark of the cover it lay on top on which it is
very obvious that the arrival date is 19 VI 1934 and not 19 V 1934 (see below - image mirrored and darkened for better readability).
The "I" of the "VI" is very poor on other cancels.

(*) The (mirror inverted) copy on the front of this cover at left shows that the PARIS backstamps read 19 VI 34 the "I" mostly cripple and barely visible.
I re-inverted it and amphasised it graphically.

This cover came with a bunch of other Leralle covers vis correct postal service. Therefore it is very astonishing that it carries
a normal Santo PM15 when SANTO Post Office did not open before 1 January 1940!
