I have attached an image of the front and partial back of a cover and would like to understand from when to when this hand-stamp was used. Seems they intended to first tax it but since then cancelled it.

The back of the cover reads "First from Persian Gulf" I believe - any ideas why that would have been applied? Also, with the date of the hand-stamp being March 3 1918 is it possible to identify where the in the Persian Gulf that the cover may have come from?

Thank you Chris

Happy Weekend All!

I have this cover which has transitted the civilian post off at Kuwait in January 1916...Where would it have originated from?

Thank you in advance

Hi Nick
Appreciate your feedback - it is a postcard from Muscat - but paid in England - doesn't carry Muscat or Bombay transit stamps but the writing indicates Persian Gulf origin.
I can not measure it as it doesn't belong to me at this time
