Leicester Special Handstamp

Notes: This cover was issued 50 years ago in 1965 when the Post Office issued stamps to mark the 700th anniversary of the English Parliament. I have a few of these covers remaining (different designs) to which I have added the new Simon DeMontfort's postage stamp now issued for the 750th anniversary. These items are highly collectable. (4 of this one with different 1965 postmarks)
