Stamp Type:
Producer/Series:
Royal Mail/Post Office
Postmark:
Leicester Square, Saturn,
Special Handstamp
Notes:
To coincide with the launch date of the film 'Star Wars The Force Awakens' on 17th December, Royal Mail issues a Prestige stamp book which contains all 18 stamps from the original 20th October issue. The above cover was originally issued on 20th October when the first Royal Mail Star Wars stamps were released. As I had a few covers remaining from the original 20th October stamp issue, I decided to add another Star Wars stamp to each of these covers and then have Royal Mail apply this additional one-day LEICESTER SQUARE postmark in use on the 17th December. Obviously I only have a few of these, now rare, double-postmarked covers.
