CSA
#7 Horz Pair USED (4-Margin but faults)
canceled by an circular Due 6 handstamp.
Stamps affixed to a piece with
the portion of the cancel on the piece reconstructed for display
purposes. This handstamp was a Union mark as there was no 6c rate in
the
Confederacy. Most likely this stamp was on a through-the-lines cover on
which Union 6cts postage due was assessed. Another explanantion might
be
that the CSA postmaster still had an old Union handstamp available and
simply used it to cancel the stamp. Or the cover could have been posted
in
Union occupied territory in which the CSA stamps were no longer
recognized. Can think of no other explanantions as to how a Union
handstamp can show up on a CSA stamp.
