27 May 1948 Early Israeli sea mail to Germany + Mandate postmark tying Doar Ivri

Description: Early Israeli sea mail + Mandate postmarking: 27 May 1948 postmarked cover sent from NETANYA to (West) BERLIN, franked 20 mils per the SU-1 period surface mail postage rate using 5m & 15m Doar Ivri stamps (the 15m frank's vertical perforations are inset, indicating this was originally a double-perforated stamp detached along the duplicate perforation), tied single strike of reintroduced Mandate NATHANYA postmark - this rare on overseas mail of this period. Torn open at top. The book "Israel's Foreign Postal Links" considers the dispatch of sea mail on this date by the Israeli ship SS Kedma from Tel Aviv to be the 1st dispatch of mail of Israel, although this cataloguer has found information that there were prior shipments of Israeli mail by sea; in any case this is a very early and rare example of such mail. An unusual postal link: sea mail with Germany was suspended on 7 April 1948 and renewed from Israel on 1 Aug., nevertheless Israel continued dispatching mail to countries with whom she had not yet re-established official postal relations (until the postal service applied administrative restrictions later, in september - see Zvi Halperin, Holy Land Postal History #11, p.555). Sea mail from Israel in the period May-June 1948 is very rare, largely because HAIFA port was under British control until July and both TEL AVIV & HAIFA ports subjected to United Nations inspections during the 1st Truce period, as described in original research by the cataloguer in JerusalemStamps Bulletin #3. --- Most of our merchandise ships out from Israel | orders are combined | additional items are charged 75c: DOMESTIC services available are Registered mail (default) and courier mail.
