| 1944 30th October, envelope originating from Beira and then posted from Umtali, bearing KGVI 9d and 1/6 x two (SG 46, 49), sent airmail to the USA. Opened at left and re-sealed with printed red/white 'OPENED BY EXAMINER / D.E.' label and struck with violet octagonal '(Crown) PASSED / DE/18' cachet. Further opened at right and re-sealed with clear tape printed 'EXAMINED BY' handstamped '8242', presumably the second censor as a result of it originating not from where it was posted. Attractive and unusual double censor envelope. |
