Stunning Registered cover (with receipt) delivered to New Zealand by Pitcairn's quarterly supply ship,
SILVER SAVIOUR
, and then airmailed to the USA, and backstamped on arrival on 25 June 2021.
The sender, Pitcairn Island's Postmaster, applied his office's red
AIR MAIL
mark at the upper left (Kitching type 4.11), and used the current 2015 definitive gutter tab single stamp to prepay the air postage and registration from Pitcairn.  The stamp is the 4th stamp on row 1 of the lower pane of a sheet of stamps. The post office postmark is Type 2.13. It is not known why his handwritten return address at the top left corner is crossed through with two pen strokes.
This 12½" x 5"-sized cover (220mm x 125mm) has a Pitcairn Registered Mail label affixed at the lower left corner (Type 8.12) and computerized sorting barcode strips applied at the front and reverse side.
The cover was mailed
50 years to the day
since the late Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Pitcairn on 22 Feb. 1971. The 40th Anniversary (2011) commemorative covers are available in our eBay Store.
CONDITION
: as expected after its arduous journey by sea and air, this clean and unique cover has some corner creases, and minor wrinkles, but is very collectable.
