c.1901 Cover to a P.O.W in Diyatalawa Camp, Ceylon, bearing an uncancelled Cape 1d, handstamped by the circular "cogwheel" type "OV / CENSOR / S", endorsed and initialled "Censored VNY J.P", the reverse with pink type 26 ER censor seal.

Very few examples of the "OV / S" censor cachet are recorded (with most of these on fronts only) and its place of use is still not known. A number of the known examples of this censor (and manuscript "VNY" initials) have an origin of Leribe in Basutoland whilst others originated in Cape Town, and both places have been suggested as possible places of use. All known examples are on mail to P.O.Ws and use by the official OVS censor for the British has been suggested. A scarce pair. (2). Photo on Page 218. (Image1)
