    1864/71: 3 d. lilac, perf. 12½, three examples of good colour, all used on 1872 cover from Hokitika to Locarno, Switzerland tied by good strikes of "W" handstamps (Waimea) in black with manuscript '3' credit in red alongside. London transit cds on front (May 13) and circular PD. Reverse with slight flap fault but showing HOKITIKA despatch cds (March 15) in black and Locarno arrival cds (May 17) alongside oval 'Giumaglio' handstamp in black. Minor imperfections as stamps applied just off edge of cover but a scarce destination and a most attractive usage. Cert. RPSL (2002).
