Good condition, slight wear
The envelope shows some minor handling marks which is expected for an item that was actually mailed in 1993. The stamp itself is intact and the cultural significance makes it worth buying.

Perfect addition to my China collection
This actual mailed envelope is in excellent condition considering its age. The postmark is clear and the stamp depicting the Longmen Grottoes is vibrant. A great piece of postal history.

Authentic and beautiful
I was worried about authenticity when buying online, but this is definitely a genuine postal express envelope. The artwork of the grottoes is stunning up close.

Nice historical artifact
It is fascinating to hold a piece of mail that traveled through China thirty years ago. The only reason for 4 stars is a small tear on the back flap, but it does not affect the display value.

Completes my set perfectly
I already had the first three issues in this series, and finding this fourth one actually mailed was a challenge. Very happy with the quality and the price point.

Fast shipping and well packaged
Arrived quickly and was protected between stiff cardboard to prevent bending. The 1993 date is clearly visible on the cancellation mark. Highly recommended seller.
Q: What are the dimensions of the envelope?
A: Standard Chinese postal express envelopes from this era typically measure approximately 23cm x 16cm, suitable for standard collectible frames.
Q: Is the postmark legible enough to see the city of origin?
A: Yes, most examples from this batch have a clear postmark indicating the mailing location, though the exact city may vary as these were distributed nationally.
Q: Does this envelope include the original letter inside?
A: No, to protect privacy and reduce weight, any original correspondence has been removed. You will receive only the outer envelope with the stamp and postmark.
Q: Is this considered a First Day Cover?
A: Not necessarily. While some may coincide with the first day of issue, this listing is specifically for 'Actual Mailed' envelopes, which means they were used in regular postal service rather than prepared solely for collectors.
Q: Can I frame this without damaging the stamp?
A: Absolutely. We recommend using an acid-free mat and UV-protective glass to preserve the paper and ink colors for long-term display.
