1912 Unadopted Waterlow and Sons Tibet 1/3t imperf colour trial in green. Extremely scarce. Plus a pair of letters from the Postmaster of Gyantse British PO B C Butt 1912 (31 Oct) and 1913 (18 Apr) to England, stating that the issuance of Tibet stamps was in 1913 instead of Dec 1912. As Dalai Lama returned to Lhasa in the 12th month of Tibetan calendar (i.e. Jan of 1913), some people mistook the issuance of Tibet stamps was in Dec 1912. Illustrated in “Tibet Stamps and Postal History” by Steve Chazen and Danny Wong fig 8, p. 238.1912年未被採納之華德路公司西藏1/3章噶綠色無齒試色票，極罕。附1912.10.31及1913.4.18 一對由江孜英國郵局局長B C Butt寄英國封，內容提到西藏郵票的發行年份為1913年，而不是1912年12月。由於達賴喇嘛在藏曆水鼠年12月才抵達拉薩（即1913年1月），部分人誤以為西藏郵票發行於1912年12月。蔡盛及王劍智著《青康藏郵驛史》第238頁圖例8號原件。

1930-1950s Registered wrapper to Gyantse, f.w. Tibet 3rd issue 2t in pair, in total of 4t registered rate, tied by faint h.s. Probably the only known registered wrapper used in Tibet. As the Tibetan postmarks are usually dateless and the related documents are missing, it is still a puzzle for philatelists to ascertain the chronicle of Tibetan postage, not to mention the registered rate.1930至1950年代掛號包裝封皮寄江孜，貼西藏獅圖第三版2章噶雙連，合4章噶掛號郵資，銷模糊戳記。很可能是西藏唯一之掛號包裝封皮例子。西藏郵戳大多沒有日期，相關文獻亦從缺，掛號郵資之調資仍有待探索。
