Covers
cover 1882 (Dec.) official XU5 bearing 1882 wide setting 3ca. brown-red vertical pair (perforations split between), cancelled by large oval negative seal of Tientsin in black and showing companion "CUSTOMS/TIENTSIN" c.d.s. alongside together with rectangular framed "Po-Ssu-Ta" handstamp. The lower adhesive has part of a Chinese manuscript notation written across it, though the overall appearance of the cover is extremely fine. Holcombe Certificate (1992). Photo
