EV24-M1_004

A 'Bailey' cover addressed to Gyantse, Tibet bearing a pair of KGV ¼a on ½a and a pair of 3p tied by PHARIJONG cancel (Hel B17) dated 28 JUN 24. Cover bears a single expedition label tied by the M1 expedition mark. There is also a Tibet stamp (SC #2) tied by a Tibetan cancel (Hel T34) (most likely for philatelic purposes). The reverse shows a GYANTSE / TIBET receiving mark dated 3 Jul 24 (Hel B48) and a Tibetan receiving mark (Hel T3?). See similar usage EV24-M4_004. The manuscript Tibetan is a translation of the address. The use of the Tibetan stamp is unnecessary and most likely philatelic.
