Reverse with "SHIP LETTER / SYDNEY" despatch cds (May 31), thence via London where struck with framed "COLONIES / &c. ART.13" in red and Calais (Oct 27), where British Ship Letter charge of '8' (pence) was overstruck with '15' décimes handstamp due for a single letter, this reaffirmed in manuscript. Despite fault, an important and not unattrractive cover with very few Sydney View covers recorded to France.rnrnProvenance: Collection Trevor Davis.Starting bid : 700 CHFHammer price : 4,800 CHF -
