Envelope addressed to Mafeking bearing a pair of British Bechuanaland QV Jubilee 2d grey-green and carmine (SG 34) cancelled with a ‘568’ BONC with proving GABERONES / B.B.P (SP 22 / 93) single circle datestamp alongside. Backstamped with a MAFEKING BECHUANALAND (SP 23) single circle datestamp struck on arrival and an additional blurred ‘568’ BONC.
