 1926: Inauguration of Port Fouad, the set of four values used, all cancelled on first day (Dec 21) at Port Fouad Post Office, the low values heavily cancelled, just 1'520 sets issued, the rare 50 pi. purple with cert. RPSL

however there is no trace of staining on this stamp or indeed on the RPSL's photograph. Greg Todd AIEP(Image 1)
