We offer SG2 and 3 together as both show first period use of the alphabet pmks. The D, at 6 o’clock, is not a challenging mark in the context, but a worthy example.

Only the bottom tip of the letter is visible but it is plainly the tip of the letter A, and the 61 of the year is plain as plain. Believe us, cancels in that year are a real rarity - Est: £75
