1919 3c Brown Hawker Overprinted Airmail Issue on Flown Cover,mailed from St John's on APR.12.1919 (machine cancel) to West Malvern, England, with English seal on back (used to close open flap) cancelled London APR.30.1919. The cover is franked with a well centered Newfoundland C1, which was lifted and re-attached in a slightly different position, tied by the St John's machine, and there is a "per Aeroplane" endorsement at top left. Small tear at bottom does not detract, very fine. Rsv. $16,500.
This flight made a controlled crash landing in the ocean, after about 13 hours of flight, which probably explains why the back flap and the stamp both became unattached. An exceedingly rare cover, as only 200 stamps were overprinted, 18 of those destroyed as they were defective and with only 95 used stamps believed to exist, far fewer remain on their original covers.
Accompanied by:
- 1971 BPA certificate (not mentioning the detached stamp)
- 1983 Enzo Diena certificate
- 2022 Greene Foundation certificate. (Image)
