Hi all,
I got this cover in an airmail lot. Looking at the cancels, I am a bit puzzled. I see 2 reasons:
1. Airmail had to have a cancel
where it was put into the airmail
the Town/city could sometimes not be read if it was on the stamps.
So a habit was formed to cancel airmail away from the stamps and to invalidate the stamps with a 2nd canceller.
2. The stamps were cancelled on an island and on the mainland the dated cancel was added.
On the reverse there is only a pencil annotation: Posted on Kala Nera
Thank you for your answers!
Heinrich
