CSA Stamp CS07-161

CS07/161

CSA #7 USED London Paper Block of 4 on Small Piece with a Socked on the Nose strike of the Austin, Tex double circle CDS. The date appears to be 7 APR 1862 which is not compatible with the stamp. May very well represent an incorrect yeardate in the CDS as was known to have happened in the Austin postmark. The postmark is most definitely genuine. Each stamp also has a one vertical line pen stroke cancel. The stamps could easily be mistaken for a CSA #6; but on close examination, the printing is just a bit coarse and there are also small plate flaws. The stamp is therefore an early printing of CSA #7 on De La Rue Paper. Margin just touches the design along the left side and at the top left corner. Used multiples with a Texas postmark are not common.
