Covers of the Commonwealth | Online Public Auction - February 12, 2026
Cwiakala Auctions Inaugural Sale No. 2601 will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2026. This debut sale features a distinguished offering of British Commonwealth postal history, highlighted by
Bermuda stampless covers, First and Second World War censored mail, Jamaica Internment Camp correspondence, Boer War prisoner-of-war letters, and an extensive selection of British West Indies censored covers, together illustrating

and energetic bidding pace.
