The Cape Post Office Period
Maseru
1878 (10 Dec.) envelope to Morija and redirected to Thabana Morena, bearing 1876 4d. blue lightly cancelled with void circle of thin bars (K1) and showing despatch datestamp (D2), light Mafeteng (D1) and Aliwal North (14.12) alongside. A remarkable item, being the only cover proving that the dumb grid cancel, which was originally allocated to Kimberley, was in fact used later at Maseru as it has the barred oval "281" as well. Photo
Note: Because of the postal route at this time, the cover travelled from Basutoland to Aliwal North, in the Cape Colony, and then returned to Thabana Morena in Basutoland. This cover is described on page 33 of the Scott handbook
