Struck in London (Aug 28) with "T / 1-10" accountancy marking in blue, thence via Calais with red cds and charged with handstruck '16' décimes in black. Small inclusions to envelope but an extraordinarily rare stamp on a letter mailed overseas and the first such this describer has handled. Certs. Holcombe (1992), Moorhouse (1992).
