Description
1882 Cover bearing QV Straits Settlements 1882 2c and 8c tied by a full and readily legible strike of the Rare “British Consulate Bangkok” oval addressed to London with appropriate Singapore transit and London arrival bs. This previously unrecorded cover, one of only a handful known, was discovered in a lot at a European Auction with a cover from the same correspondence (but cancelled by the later and far less rare Bangkok cds).
A phenomenal find and major rarity for the Thailand specialist and student of postal history Catalogue
