RA3896
c1966, large printed 'ON HIS MAJESTY'S SERVICE / SOUTHERN RHODESIA' envelopes, all but 'RHODESIA' blacked out (by hand?), further rubber stamped at top 'ON GOVERNMENT SERVICE'. Five examples each a different print date, from 1938, 1939 x 2, 1941 and 1951, the envelopes originally item no. S.E.17. Obviously done soon after Independence to use up old stocks. Unused, most unusual and not previously seen.
