| Abstract: | In the MSC Handbook, on page 32 we find details with regards to the MAL-11 hand stamps used during the reign of Queen Victoria. These three circular hand stamps consisted of MALTA in a straight line with a code letter above it and the date in two lines below. In the Handbook it is recorded that the two identical 19mm circular daters Small MAL-11 a & b, are to be found only with code letters 'A', 'C', and 'O'. These were in use between 15th May 1858 and 2nd November 1866. The third hand stamp in the group, a 20mm dater known as Large MAL-11 c, is recorded as being used with the 'A' code letter only and was in use between 9th June 1868 and 8th April 1874. [excerpt] |
