1908 Picture postcard of Twain-Muscat or H.B.M Consulate Muscat, both with an India 1a cancelled by "LONDON / 174" double ring c.d.s. These London datestamps with number 172-177 were used on naval mail sent to London in closed bag; such mail should have had G.B stamps, and these cards should therefore have been treated as being unpaid and charged.
