Postal History and Cancellations. 1903 (Oct 9) Registered cover from Port Moresby to Holland franked 1901-05 ½d, 1d and 6d, a Bahnpost Nr. 19 registration label applied in transit in Germany, backstamped at Brisbane and The Hague. Philatelic with three vertical folds (two crossing the ½d and 6d stamps), a scarce issue on cover.

1933 (June 12) Large registered cover from Port Moresby to England endorsed "Contents £2.10.0 in English Silver", reverse with "Treasury" wax seal, franked 1931 5d on 1/- pair and 1/3 on 5/- with type R16 registration label, backstamped at Brisbane and Adelaide. An uncommon commercial use of these 1931 surcharges, the cover a little reduced at left, otherwise fine.
