    1856: Great Britain 1 s. green, a horizontal pair used on 1858 cover to Lima, Peru endorsed 'p. Mail' tied by 'Glasgow / 159' duplexes (July 30) in black. London transit in red (July 31). Reverse, opening well for display, showing rectangular framed "E" handstamp (probably = Estrangero or possibly E = Europa) applied in Callao (Emsing fig. E155), however the marking is very scarce and its use has yet to be fully determined. Internal docketing of receipt (Sept 10). A fine cover.
