Stamps sold

14 Oct.1919 (AAMC.25b) postcard from Chahbar on the Persian Gulf to Karachi, flown by Poulet & Benoist in their Caudron G4 "La Mouche" with cachet 'FIRST THROUGH AERIAL MAIL / GREAT BRITAIN TO INDIA / KARACHI 14.10.1919' in violet, with amendment in red ink "Paris to Melbourne 11.11". Only three items with this amended cachet recorded, and thus rarer than the Bandar Abbas - Karachi cover [AAMC.25a, 8 reported] which sold for $11,000 plus commission in our December 2003 sale.
