It does, actually -- the confusing thing here is that the "SW1" is a London district (and which became the first part of the postcode when they were introduced), and the "SW14" is a separate identifier for the sub-office as used on registration labels.

So basically Buckingham Gate in the SW1 district was office number 14 within the London SW area, according to whatever system of allocating numbers London SW used at the time (head offices could decide for themselves).

Thank you mozzerb

A philatelic item - card with all the cancels, die embossing and registration label used at the 1929 Postal Union Congress, London.

Would appreciate any input on the registration label that is on the card.

Thanks!

Registered cover for the Centenary of the Casterton Cup:

There is no postmark at Merino on the reverse which means either the Postmaster at Merino was slack or the cover did not go through the mail.

Below is Colleen Woolley's write up on the special commemorative postmark & you will note at point 3, that there is only one registered cover for this event.

Yes it is a Casterton Vic, 3311, cds, perhaps they thought it was neater to use that rather than the large pictorial.

I would have liked to have seen a Merino, Vic, 3310, cds on the reverse but for what ever reason it didn't happen.

Beauty is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. This has a bit of rust on it but registered airmail covers from Iraq in this period are not common. Busra to London, 14 April 1923.

and for something completely different - Abu Dhabi to Victoria 28 Nov 1970

I went to the $5 auction at Brighton on Saturday to see what was available and was outbid on a number of items but picked up this 1998 Norway Registered cover to Australia.

It contained a mint 1997 year pack from Norway and was sent to an old workmate who has since passed away. Nice stamps used on the envelope that the year pack was sold in.

BigSaint · Post by **BigSaint** » 08 Feb 2017 15:20

I picked this one up at Brighton last night where it was suggested to me that Australia Post no longer sell the red & orange registered post prepaid labels like the one in the top left corner:

Is this true or just a lazy postal worker who finds it easier just to retail the whole registered envelope

I don't find a lot of Registered 1960 Melbourne Cup fdcs & when I do it is usually philatelic & this one is no exception:

It pays the correct rate as registration for local letters was 5 times the local letter rate of 5d, so a block of 6 does both perfectly. There are no back stamps on the reverse as the fdc would have been handed direct to the postman for his delivery round.

You are welcome to contribute as much as you can, but you need to get your scans to the 800 x 600 like mine above otherwise they are too small for us to enjoy.

A recent acquisition from Status International:

A nice Soil & Medical Congress double gutter pair on registered fdc, although I thought postage was 5c & registration fee was 25c, so it appears 5c short paid to me. E J Newman was a fdc collector who liked large (9"x4") fdcs & cut out the cachets from various (usually Royal) other cachetmakers & registered them.

This is SG 42A from Barwani State, in India. It was the first appearance of the 4 Anna stamp in green (previously it had been printed in orange). No registration markings, but the 4 Anna (say 5 cents) rate meant that it had to be sent registered:

Heavily creased, of course, but a commercial usage, and as there were only 1600 printed, who cares?
