Cover sent from Bad Kreuznach to Geneva featuring a block of three KZ27.1 - 14mm between brown bars of dashes (Mi.513 + Z + Z + Mi.516) from stamp booklet sheet MHB 44. Note that the cover has been re-addressed as 'Poste restante' (the mail was to be collected from the post office rather than delivered). The post office in question being on the Plainpalais in Geneva. It was at this location on the 9th November 1932 that anti-fascist demonstrators were shot on and killed by elements of the Swiss Army (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_1932_Geneva_shooting).
