    Lot# : 1125 New Zealand

    1871: 2½ d. orange, two horizontal pairs, used on 1873 'Goldrush' cover to Locarno, Switzerland tied by distinctive "W" handstamps of Westland on despatch. Reverse with 'Hokitika' transit cds (June 30) and Christchurch cds (July 2) with Locarno arrival cds (Sept 11). Front bears London transit cds in red (Sept 9). The cover somewhat aged and the stamps have been lifted for checking and carefully replaced, however this is a rare usage with the rate somewhat complicated (it was technically reduced to 8 d. from Jan 1, 1874 and there is a manuscript '20' for French credit at upper left and a further '2d.' in manuscript for the British share and the cover was not taxed on arrival. A fascinating and scarce cover for the specialist, mail to Switzerland at this period being extremely unusual.
