cover 1870 (12 Jan.) XU5 to France, bearing 1861 clean cut perf. 6d. blue and 1868 thick bar 2d. yellow both neatly tied by "sunburst" cork cancellation (CNA.7), showing "ST HELENA" oval d.s., London Paid c.d.s. and circular "PD" (additionally tying the 2d.), all struck in red; the XU5 with a few minor faults, though a rare and most attractive franking. Photo in colour.
