CORINPHILA AUCTIONS 297 - 308 Day 6

1863 (19. Jun.): 80c rose, vertical pair tied by Lozenge 3602 (grand chiffre) to letter addressed to a sailor in 'LAGOS' (GABON). The letter contains its original contents and is endorsed 'Afrique' and 'Voie de Liverpool'. The red cachet 'PP' has been annulled and replaced by a black cachet. The upper stamp has a small cut at the bottom, otherwise the franking is fresh and in excellent condition. A superb destination of great rarity.
