BE159

CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin with a small right sheet margin) cancelled by the Point Lookout Prisoners Letter Examined octagonal handstamp without a date (Type IIa or Type B in the new CSA Catalog). Also cancelling the stamp is the rim of a CDS at the lower right which cannot be identified. Stamp must have been removed from a Point Lookout, Md POW cover. Normally the examined handstamp was applied somewhere on the cover away from the stamps. Most unusual to find the mark actually cancelling a stamp. The stamp is hinged on a card with a partial reconstruction of the examiner’s handstamp mark for display purposes. Very Fine.
