This item has 4 x K.E.VII stamps to the value 3 1/2 annas on half an envelope. It bears 4 strikes of the Muscat postmark dated 12 SE 06 (Donaldson Type 11). It also has a good strike of the scarce first registration cachet used in Muscat (Donaldson Type 16) on the reverse of the envelope. If the envelope was cut at the top and bottom then it could be opened to show both sides, making a superb exhibition piece.

In 1947 the postal administration of Muscat became the responsibility of Pakistan and so is an interesting forerunner.

The piece is a printed envelope cut in half and the general condition is as per scan.
