Description: **** PITCAIRN ISLANDS **** [R14] 1962 COMMERCIAL COVER TO FULDA, WEST GERMANY 1957 QEII 6d stamp on commercial cover (Sc.#26, S.G. 24, Mi.#26) SCARCE Commercial cover; VERY unusual destination ! A FINE (THOUGH INCOMPLETE) PITCAIRN POST OFFICE POSTMARK (type 2.5) of 27 September 19(62) ties Sc.# 26 on a blue, lightweight Shaw Savill Shipping Company envelope to FULDA, West Germany, a very unusual destination at the time of the 'Cold War'. See all images. There is no indication of the sender of the cover, or the ship which carried it. However, Pitcairn was a hive of activity then, with THREE ships arriving in 8 days - the Federal Lines' M.S. DURHAM on 28 September, and the popular Shaw, Savill ships, CERAMIC on the 29th, and ATHENIC on 5th October. NOTE: My scanner tends to attract background colors, such as lemons/yellows. The cover on offer does NOT have any discolorations.
