Port. India 1922 cover from Mapuca to London franked on the back with a pair of 3 reis CM issues (CE 204) and a pair of 1 tanga CM issues (CE 208). 2 1/2 tangas was the correct rate to England in 1922. The stamps are tied by a “Mapuca” hexagonal postmark and a “Nova-Goa” transit CDS. There are 2 partial light “London” arrival postmarks + a dark smudged mark on the front. Unusual late usage for these CM issues.
