| Abstract: | Two types of delivery charge marks have been recorded on mail coming into Malta from overseas during the first half of the nineteenth century. These consist of a straight line handstamp, which includes the date (month, usually abbreviated, and day) and the charge levied. They are also improperly known by Postage Due marks. Up to late in 1825, the charge was indicated in the traditional Maltese currency: Tari and Grani - abbreviated to capital "T". (T.4.10, for instance, stands for four Tari ten Grani). [excerpt] |
