SR2296
1934 21st March, printed VIA AIR MAIL envelope bearing KGV 8d Admiral (SG 8), cancelled with special oval crested 'ROYAL TOUR H.R.H. PRINCE GEORGE' bilingual datestamp. Addressed to Pretoria, and by this time this issue had been invalidated (30th September, 1931). Endorsed in ink 'Obsolete' and then struck with red circular 'TO PAY' cachet, endorsed '10d' (double the 5d airmail rate). Duly applied with South African 2d pair and 6d dues cancelled 'PRETORIA 24 MAR 34'. Most attractive and unusual.
