It's British. The cancel is gone which would have given us an exact date. There is a square paper seal ("cypher seal") stuck to the back of the document to protect that lead tin strip. If you can show that perhaps someone can give an approximate date. However, cypher seals fall off or are detached often enough.
I ended up finding a few more sifting through the collection. Five are orange and have the metal insert. The date is obvious on some, but not on others. How old are the others?
Whoa! Nice collection there bpm. The Heligoland mutilated stationery piece, is common, I would think. The Jamaican is a lovely piece, for me. They represent a very difficult and consuming discipline, should you decide to specialise.
To whet your appetite, peruse this page by our Dave Elsmore.......... (Australian focus)
