1884 (MY 3) large cover (edge faults) to Lew Down, Devon, headed
"from W. Lockbert CC, HMS Swiftsure, Pacific" and countersigned by
the Commanding Officer, but presumably over the 1/2 oz. so paid at
the full civilian rate of 4d., a Great Britain 1d. lilac strip of
four cancelled C35 obliterators, A Panama cds of British Post
Office just below. The Panama office closed in 1881 and these
cancels were only used in transit thereafter. Faults to the
envelope do not detract from a very unusual and scarce cover from a
British naval ship in the Pacific
