    1877 (Sept 29): Argentina 1877 8 c. lake rouletted (Scott 34) used in combination with Great Britain 1864 1 d. red pl. 153, five examples, and 1865 4 d. vermilion pl. 12 single and pair, on 1877 cover to the Austrian Post Office in Alexandria, Egypt endorsed 'per Minho', the former tied by 'Buenos Aires' cds (Sept 27), the Great Britain adhesives unnecessary for initial journey and left uncancelled on departure but cancelled in London by '28' obliterators in black to prevent re-use, and accepted as pre-payment for the Egyptian leg of the journey and thus treated correctly as fully paid with 'London / Paid' cds (Nov 1). Reverse with British and Austrian Post Office datestamps of arrival (Nov 8). Some peripheral aging but an unusual and very early 'philatelic' cover. Cert. BPA (1982).rnNote: The use of British stamps in Argentina was ended in 1873. Great Britain and Egypt were original signatories of the UPU in 1875, Argentina joined on 1 April 1878. The above cover was probably mailed between an Argentinian postal clerk to his opposite number in the Austrian Post Office in Alexandria.rnProvenance: Collection Grant Glassco, RL, London, 25-27 Nov 1969, lot 551.
