    British Post Office 1867: Egypt 1 pi. red, two examples, used on 1871 cover from Magaga via Cairo (March 2) to York endorsed "via Brindisi", paying the internal rate; with Great Britain 1864/79 1 d. red pl. 119 (2) and 1867/70 6 d. violet pl. 9 (Gi Z4 + Z24), all tied by "B01" obliterators of the British P.O. in Alexandria in black, ALEXANDRIA cds at right (March 4). Flap missing but partial Magaga, Cairo and Alexandria transits and York arrival cds on reverse. Restorable opening fault at top but a very rare combination usage: one of just three similar covers known from this correspondence. Cert. Todd AIEP (2016).
