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 top left corner (Kitching type 4.11), and a blue New Zealand Post label "AIR INTERNATIONAL" was also applied alongside an ADAMSTOWN / PITCAIRN ISLANDS Registered Mail label no.11323 (Type 12.5) at the bottom left.
The Pitcairn Post Office postmark tying the complete souvenir sheet is Type 2.13. The Postmaster's return address and postal code is written on the back flap of this long 12½" x 5" envelope, and the arrival backstamp of the receiving post office. A computerized sorting barcode strip is applied below the stamp sheet.
The cover was mailed
50 years to the day
since the late Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Pitcairn on 22 Feb. 1971. The 2011 40th Anniversary of the Royal Visit commemorative covers are available in our eBay Store.
CONDITION

THIS SOUVENIR SHEET
: was the final issue of the "Bounty Post" Agency in New Zealand in Feb. 2020. The new British agents have not released any new issues yet.
