 1921 (March 15) to Switzerland with KGV 2d orange only tied by 'CANTERBURY/VICTORIA' cds, oval 'T' cachet and scarce 'T/80c' h/s of
Melbourne, Swiss Postage Dues 20c x4 tied to face by 'ACACIAS/18IV21/(GENEVE)' cds, a few minor blemishes. [Richard Breckon states the foreign letter rate was increased on 1.10.1920 from 2½d per ½oz + ½d War Tax to 4d for the first oz plus 2d for
each additional oz, which fits in that the item was 4d underpaid for the second weight-step. However the ACSC states that the 4d rate was introduced 1.1.1922. If the old rate still applied, a second weight-step letter would have been rated 2½d per
½oz x2 + ½d War Tax = 5½d, not the 6d at which this was assessed. Perhaps the 2½d rate + ½d War Tax was varied to 3d per ½oz on 1.10.1920, the 4d + 2d rate commencing 1.1.1922? Check your covers for this period]

different Canadian TPO b/s including 'TORONTO & OWEN SOUND RPO' and 'ORANGEVILLE & TEESWATER RPO', a few blemishes clear of the stamps. [The rate was Empire letter 2d per 1oz + 3d registration fee; the 1d violet was issued in February 1922 and the
colour of the 4d was changed from violet to blue from March 1922 to avoid the obvious confusion evidenced here]

as we are aware Port Lincoln did not have a Late Fee Bag into which this could have been posted; we suspect that the item was carried by ship to Adelaide and this h/s was used out of convenience to indicate that a Late Fee was payable. (Image1) (Image2)
