1905 Swatow (27 Dec) to Germany. CIP 2nd print PSC, front portion of double card, uprated by 1c + 2c, tied by Swatow bisected bilingual cds. In combination with Hong Kong KEVII 2c, tied by Swatow type 4 IPO tie-print and Hong Kong (28 Dec) cds. Arrived Hamburg (28 Jan). IPO tie-print on KEVII issues are not common as the latest usage of IPO tie-print was Jan 1906. Webb stated that KEVII issues were only found with Swatow type 4 and a manuscript IPO (which is uncertain to be genuine). Hence, a scarce example.1905.12.27 汕頭寄德國。大清第二版郵資片之正片，加貼1分 + 2分，銷汕頭半切漢英日戳。加貼香港愛德華一世2仙，銷汕頭4型IPO騎縫戳及香港2.28日戳。1.28抵漢堡。由於IPO騎縫戳的最後使用記錄為1906年1月，故蓋於愛德華七世票上十分少見。Webb記錄道，愛德華七世票僅見於汕頭4型騎縫戳及一款未知真偽之手寫IPO字樣上。此例稀罕難得。

A collection of Swatow BPO Webb type E star cds dated 1900, containing two Hong Kong QV used stamps and one stationery card to Hong Kong, all showcasing short year digit “00”. Webb stated that there was a shortage of the figure 00, therefore the year digits on the cds was actually modified from the figure 88 by removing the tops off. That’s why the year digits 00 are particularly short on this cds. 一組1900年汕頭英局Webb E型星號日戳集藏，包含兩枚香港維多利亞女皇像舊票及一件寄香港郵資片，日戳年份“00”較矮小。Webb指當時缺乏“00”的郵戳字粒，故將“88”的上圈移除改作00使用，故此戳的00字體尤其矮小。
