1911 Gyantse (30 Mar / 29 Apr) to Lhasa, f.w. Tibet surch Coiling Dragon 1a on reverse, tied by Gyantse dollar dater (with “3rd” intead of “4th” month variety). Arrived Lhasa (2 May) with dollar dater. As it usually took only 3 to 4 days from Gyantse to Lhasa, the month on the Gyantse cds was probably wrong. Interesting.

1911.3.30 / 4.29 江孜寄拉薩，背貼西藏蟠龍2分，銷江孜大圓戳（月份應誤作“三”而非“四”）。5.2抵拉薩，鈐大圓到達戳。江孜寄拉薩通常只需三至四天，故江孜日戳之月份應是有誤，有趣。
