3140 錯過了新疆國際航郵, 但趕上剛恢復的人民郵政國際航郵服務業務停用後的實寄封 The letter that missed the airmail service in Sinkiang, but caught up with newly resumed Chinese People’s Post airmail service​ ​ In August 1949, airmail service was not available in Sinkiang (still under KMT control). This letter was posted from Shufu, Kashgar on 18th August 1949. Due to the Civil War, it took 158 days for this letter to reach Canton where the Chinese People’s post had just resumed international airmail service on 1st February 1950. The letter was sent by airmail on 5th February 1950 and arrived in Fulda, Germany on 18th February. Apparently the 45 fen Silver Yuan and 5000 Gold Yuan on cover was adequate to pay for the international airmail postage. This is the only recorded Sinkiang Silver and Gold Yuan Stamps Combination Cover. ​ 1949年8月，仍在國民黨控制之下的新疆航郵業務停用。由於內戰，此由喀什疏附在1949年8月18日寄出的信，花了158天 時間在1950年2月5日才到達廣州，剛剛趕上中國人民郵政於1950年2月1日恢復國際航郵業務。此信於2月18日空郵抵達德 國富爾達。上貼新疆基數壹角2枚, 伍分4枚, 壹分5枚, 另金元郵票5 枚總值金元5千元, 顯然，45分銀元和5000元金元，足以 支付國際航空郵資。​ 新疆銀元與金元郵票混貼封，記錄只此1件。 ​ HK$ 80,000 - 100,000
