bonsoir andre,
thank you for your kind assistance. since the freedoms of the baltic states, we now have new philatelic friends on delcampe. and also more needs for translation of languages not found on the fish. unfortunately, even the internet does not provide good translation services for all languages spoken here.
Thank you for the translation.
The envelop indead has tape on the backside but this tape was already put before the letter was send (Registering label is sticked over a part of the tape on the front side).
What could be the sence of this postal remark? Perhaps the scan of the backside with the label can help you. It is on a registerd letter send from Sweden to a post box in Estonia (year 2000).
Thanks in advance for more help.

bonsoir Trickgh,
as a retired usps employee, i offer 2 solutions to this puzzle. 1) this letter was sent in the condition and the receiving post office duly note the condition with a standard printed note on the back. or 2) the letter was damaged in transit from the estonian post office to another requiring repair, and the posting of the printed note. often, our own automation equipment used to cancell, sort and spray on barcodes will damage a letter. our procedure is to send this mail to the 'nixie' clerk or mail handler whose job it is to place it in a 'body' bag, or clear plastic sack or envelope that has a printed apology from the usps. early covers with damage markings from plane or shipwrecks can be highly sought after and valuable.

Andres,
The envelop is in perfect condition so the 2) solution is not applicable.
Than we have to go for 1).
Could it be that the postal autority just wanted to point out that the tape is NOT put by them. To reassure the recipient that the envelop was not opened and resealed after a control by customs or other autorities.

Hello Trickgh,
it is impossible to understand, when the tape was put, by the sender, or by the bad gay somewhere on the way to the addressee.
I have had experience at the post office, when I must sign the tape, put myself, to guarantee the legality of the tape.
In your case the postman indicated, that he can not garantee the legality of the tape!
So I agree with your conclusion!
