Hi Team

Item in question has now arrives from the Czech Republic.

Registered 'fragment' which looks to be complete.  Cancelled FPO 1 13 April 1935

Bears a Pre printed Registration Label FIELD P.O.1 . Located at Teintsin.

From a Coil printing, the Coil printings of these labels were introduced by 1928,  First example I've come across so far.

Back to the UK, but Back stamp incomplete.

Two questions arise

1 How is the postage made up? 

2 Has anyone got any Registered Forces Mail in the period 1929 to 1939 please.  In a continuation of the study I'm engaged in this will be a time span I'll be looking at shortly.

Cheers Chris
