Britain Very Early Use of Blue Pencil Cross on Registered Cover, a legal size O.H.M.S. (Inland Revenue / Somerset House) cover mailed registered on MAR.28.1878 (red oval registration datestamp) from London to The Distributor / Stamp Office /
Cullompton (received there MAR.29), with blue pencil cross on front and back. There is also a double oval Inland Revenue datestamp on front MAR.28.1878. The blue crayon crosses were introduced on January 1st, 1878 to simulate the ribbons previously
applied to registered mail, and to help attract attention to the special services required by postal clerks. Accompanied by an in-depth article on the beginnings of this scheme, explaining that there were some attempts to push back the date to April
1st for various reasons, and how it actually ended up starting on January 1st. Cover has some opening faults at one end and some staining on back, still an important item for the registration specialist. (Scan 1)
