Title: Gold Coast registered labels & hand stamps mail to Malta 1931-34 : part 1 Abstract: During 1931-34, the Gold Coast did not make use of the French Air Mail service to Europe, so no Air Mail covers have been recorded to Malta from the Gold Coast during this period. Mail coming to Malta from the Gold Coast came via Plymouth - U.K. [excerpt]

Title: Divided-back post cards : a clarification Abstract: To the best of my knowledge, collectors and historians believed that, in Malta, it was only in March 1906 that the postal authorities started allowing a written message, besides the address, on the back of picture postcards. Before that, the back of the postcard could only be used for the address; any other message or communication would have to be crammed on the picture side. If the sender wrote anything else on the back, besides the address, the postcard would be charged at the full letter rate. This restriction explains why, at the turn of the century, postcards did not have a dividing line printed on the back. [excerpt]
