Hinged to album page piece and marked "Nupe Post Office No.2 Army Signals, unique?" by previous owner. NUPE PROVINCE has subsequently been suggested, but West Africa Study Circle member Ray Harris now believes it is NUPE PLATOON as the wording for both PROVINCE and POST OFFICE would be too long, and has provided the attached mock-up of how the full postmark might look £725 | |
