The perfin on that cover might give an indication too? Can you read the perfin?
many government offices were given authority to use official status on their mail. Books published by the goverment, for example, was alotted the title His / Her Majesty's printers and were entitled to legally use official stationery.
Your cover may very well be an example of that kind of usage??
Hi Chimo, Thanks for the reply. Near as I can discern on the perfin; HM8O, with a questionable on the "8." On the below image I placed the lettering in blue.
Thank you for the explanation. Now I wonder who HM80 was?
Never gave perfins much thought until now, very interesting. I should look through my dups and see what else I have just for fun, or maybe start a perfin collection. Thanks for the information.
The good thing about collection Perfins W9 is that you have the opportunity to collect stamps without gum and a rip, tear, pulled perf, makes no never mind.
