Cover - Great Britain

This beautiful cover from England came just a week back. Its a nice cover especially because of the clear cancellation on it. Royal Mail rarely puts good or for that matter any cancellation on stamps on cover. See my earlier posts of covers from Great Britain.


The stamps on the cover are from the set of 10 1st class stamps on prehistoric animals issued by Royal Mail on 10th October 2013. The two stamps here depict the Ichthyosaurs and Baryonyx

    1. I wish to have the complete set in my collection of stamps of GB. Great set of stamps and fits into my thematic collection of odd shaped stamps too I guess.
