The stamps are affixed to a section of a parcel postal form (Despatch Note / Bulletin d’Expédition), with clear strikes. b) Second cutout: Nine stamps cancelled with “MAHNE YEHUDA” postmarks dated 1929, on a section of an official Mandate parcel postal form. Multiple clear strikes of the postmark are visible. The reverse of the forms carries printed instructions in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, typical of Mandate postal forms.
