Germany 1910 LZ 7 "Deutschland", "DeLAG" picture postcard (with multicolor Zeppelin design on reverse), handwritten indication of flight from Paris to Petersburg, with drop over Frankfurt, sent unfranked with purple "Feldpost" handstamp, Frankfurt 23.11.1914 receiver. F.-V.F.
Estimate 100 - 150
This is likely an unused picture post card sent by a soldier years after the flight. The first airship Deutschland was destroyed in June 1910 and the second Deutschland was destroyed in May 1911. The Paris take-off may be wishful thinking, given the World War I date.
