1870 (Oct 8) Entire from Jersey to Reims with 3d tied "409", black "PD", most unusually with red octagonal "ANGL. B.M / GRANVILLE" datestamp probably applied in error for the "Iles-C" c.d.s., backstamped Granville A Paris (Oct 9) and upon arrival at Reims (Mar 29). Unusually detained due to the Siege of Paris and then apparently overlooked as it was not delivered until two months after the siege ended. A couple of minor stains, otherwise fine.
