NB Please note that postmarks vary and could well be different to the one shown above. Also depending on the way the covers have been addressed will depend on the positioning of the rubber stamp cachets. Bear in mind that these covers were issued in 1969 - that's over 50 years ago and may have changed hands several times. Therefore these will not be as pristine as a new cover issued this year.
