AM1009
Postal History (South African Occupation) 1917 (29th July), printed envelope addressed to Swakopmund and subsequently readdressed to Okahandja. Bearing a single King’s Head 1d rose-red (SG 4) tied by a neat WINDHOEK (29.7) modified German single circle datestamp. The letter was censored and shows a circular ‘PASSED CENSOR / 100A’ circular cachet struck in purple. Okahandja (30 Jul) arrival backstamp. A fine example of the 1d rate, apparently without a redirection fee, and showing censoring within SWA.
