Switzerland with Perf 12 1/- pair tied by BN '239' of 'DUNOLLY' (b/s), 'REGISTERED/ MELBOURNE' transit cds on the face, London oval arrival of '19NO60' & very fine '[crown]/REGISTERED' & 'PD'-in-circle handstamp, French 'ANGL/AMB CALAIS' of the same
date, the reverse with Swiss cds of Basel & boxed rate-calculator handstamp and 'BIRONICO' arrival, minor blemishes. A dramatic cover. Ex Ronnie Winchester: sold at our auction of 1.12.2019 (Sale 239 Lot 2116) for $767. Ben Palmer's Census
Switzerland #126. Palmer at page 167 notes that the rate is "wrong", the minimum to Switzerland being 2/6d. However, despite this suggestion that there are stamps missing, there is no evidence of other stamps having been affixed and removed or
fallen-off. And it begs the question, why wasn't the cover taxed? RPSV Certificate (2008) notes the rate irregularity but states "no stamps have been removed". (Image1) (Image2)
