Lot 2820
5 pa. brown and single 2 pia. yellow used on 1875 cover to Chislehurst, UK cancelled by arabic dated "Luxor" cds in black. As the cover would need a further 2 pia. stamp it appears that the Postmaster at Luxor deliberately placed the "PD" on the adhesive to show that the stamp had fallen off (rate was 4 pia. 5 pa. = 8 d. sterling). Reverse with Siut transit cds, British P.O. "Alexandria" cds (March 8) and Chislehurst arrival (Marcch 16). An interesting cover.
