Currently bearing 5d postage, comprising a QV unappropriated die 3d lilac and black and a ‘Jubilee’ 2d grey-green and carmine (SG 12, 34) tied by MAFEKING / BECHUANALAND (13 Oct) single circle datestamps with a further strike on the reverse. With Cape Town (17 Oct) transit and Dieulefit (Nov) arrival backstamps. Sadly, some philatelic vandal appears to have foreshortened the envelope at right, taking with it an adhesive, probably another 3d. |
