Falkland Islands Cover 1972 Falkland Islands Company provisional from West Store

Stock Code: P256000811

Falkland Islands Company Provisional. 1972 (4 MY) cover addressed to 'Mr A.B. Monk, San Carlos', unfranked but with fine strike of 'WEST STORE / PORT STANLEY / FALKLAND ISLANDS' boxed handstamp at upper left, with type PS3D cds at right. Very fine and scarce. [In March 1972 the stock of ½p and 1p stamps was running low. In order to prevent an exhaustion, the Falkland Islands Company, as the principal user of the 1p value for internal mail, returned its stock of 1p stamps to the Post Office and was authorised to use its office handstamp as a means of franking its postal correspondence. Two handstamps were authorised for use, one in the head office and the other at West Store. This provisional usage lasted from 3 April to 31 May, with 482 covers (both handstamps) recorded as being franked in this period.]
