1924 Admirals & Field Marshals
1924 GEORGE V ADMIRALS, SG 1-14  -  ADMIRALS POSTAL HISTORY
SR2298
1934 21st March, envelope bearing KGV 1½d Admiral plus ½d Field Marshal (SG 3, 15), twice cancelled with special oval crested 'ROYAL TOUR H.R.H. PRINCE GEORGE' bilingual datestamp. Addressed to Pretoria, and by this time the Admiral issue had been invalidated (30th September, 1931). Endorsed in crayon 'Obsolete' and then struck with red circular 'TO PAY' cachet, endorsed '3d' (double the 2d rate, less the ½d correctly paid). Duly applied with South African 3d pair dues cancelled 'PRETORIA 27 MAR 34'. Most attractive and unusual.
