King Edward VII -- Just For A Change Of Pace

Supposing that it can't be all George V, all the time (and maybe it can...), how about some examples of his father, Edward VII?

True, Edward was not a great patron of stamp collecting, but he did buy his brother's collection and then give it to his son (George V), where it became a part of one of the great collections of all time, so...without further ado, how about some Edward?

I'll start off with a few definitives, from:

Sierra Leone:



Gambia:



Malta:



Cyprus:



and Fiji:



I included a used Fiji example, because I need to ask again about this cancel. I misplaced the last answer I received.

For anyone who is not fully conversant with the British kings, Edward is the bald one. It is amazing how often Edward and George show up in auction lots of the other's stamps, so you are not alone if you can't immediately tell them apart.

There are lots more out there, so post away.

The cancellation looks like the Suva "Sunburst" - used between 1882-1915, in violet, red, blue or black. Later it was used to cancel Postage Due stamps.

Edited: corrected date

I'm wondering if there is a way to distinguish the Suva and Levuka sunbursts without the cds? Any ideas?

A few more...

Newfoundland (though here it is 1897 and he is still the Prince of Wales):



Bechuanaland Protectorate:



China Expeditionary Force:



(Anyone suspect this overprint?)

Levuka 1874-1902

Thirteen solid rays



Suva 1882-1915

Sixteen broken rays radiating from small centre



Cancelled-to-order

Sixteen OR eighteen broken rays radiating from large oval centre

A thousand thanks!

In fact, if a picture is worth a thousand words, that would be three thousand thanks.

CEF looks fine to me, comparing with my examples.

Thanks for looking. It measures the same as my other examples, but this is the only one I have that runs uphill.

Burlington Bertie from Gwalior



(SG 61A) and



(SG 62B)

Why, tonymacg, those aren't even remotely Ugly.

Nice scans. I shouldn't say this out loud (so to speak), but, I've looked at those stamps for how many years, and can't recall ever noticing the "India Post" repeating in the frame.

The lettering is pretty tiny ...

And here is the old rascal, surrounded by his Old Mum and son in Patiala:



and pretty well obliterated from Nabha



And as Neddy Seagoon once remarked, 'I have my dark secrets!'

Here he is at his son's Coronation Durbar

What a clever chappy he was!

Eddy! This time way down south, man he gets around!
