1905 Swatow (27 Dec) to Germany. CIP 2nd print PSC, front portion of double card, uprated by 1c + 2c, tied by Swatow bisected bilingual

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。

1836 (Jan 27) Macao to London, endorsed with “p. Sarah” private ship, on the front side, cancelled by a strong inked red color

1836 (Jan 27) Macao to London, endorsed with “p. Sarah” private ship, on the front side, cancelled by a strong inked red color step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”, a manuscript rate charge of “1/8” (1s 8d). On the reverse side, cancelled by two rectangular “INDIA LETTER / FALMOUTH” cancellations in rose red, which are over-strike by to corresponding step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”. The ship letter was incorrectly identified as originated from India but subsequently rectified as being sent from Macao/ China, and hence matching with firstly cancelled by “INDIA LETTER / FALMOUTH” and then over-strike by step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”. Covers originating from Macao were not eligible for the special India letter rates. The first “India Letter” handstamp was likely applied by mistake in Falmouth. Upon arrival in London, a second strike was likely applied. At this point, the error was noticed and all prior strikes were overstruck by the “Ship Letter” marking.
