Lot Details
1971 Reply Post Card with both original & response cards each with GB 2½d Machin, the initial pmkd Brighton & latter Cocos (Keeling) Island, Indian Ocean 27 Au 71. The printed card requests the return of both before UPU regulations in 1972 meant the British stamp was no longer valid for British Commonwealth PO use. Highly unusual with thanks to a keen philatelist.
