C14 flown FDC, rare modified cachet = 50% premium. C14 stamp tied by the FIRST DAY Washington DC cancel, carried on the Lakehurst -Friedrichshafen flight. The cover displays the scarce modified US flight cachet variety that commands a 50% premium according to the Michal Zeppelin catalog. The story behind the so called "scratched cachet" variety is rather interesting. In the process, the clerks had accidentally (or by design) had stamped a few covers on hand that were specifically designated to be flown from Lakehurst to Germany; these were left behind to await the Zeppelin arrival. This decision came as an unpleasant surprise to the eager beaver clerks who were forced to manually scratch out part of the Type I rubberstamp on the covers processed in advance. The "modified cachet" covers are uncommon, and sought by specialists. So far, every example I have seen also happens to be a FDC. CONDITIONS OF SALE: PLEASE READ.
