Gould DC circle mute mark (2).

[Chris Weddell]

Hello,

        This is the second mute circle mark I am having problems finding ? The censor mark is a Gould 5C40 I think.

                                                    Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris

I don't think I can move this forward, but I do have a cover with what I reckoned to be DC10, attached hereto. It has a certain similarity to yours.....  but there are no accompanying  notes in Gould

i also have a couple of Gould's 5C40, one of which has the same censors initials as your cover 2.  Both covers have the London  machine cancel, 3.12.17 and 1.5.16.  It is a distinctive censors mark... isn't it Frank........?

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony,

          I have to agree it is about the same as my first cover I posted to day. I thought it may be a DC 10 but i was not sure.

              Thank you for the help.

                                                          Cheers

Hmm, 6 triangular segments arranged in a circle. Nothing like it in Gould, is there. It seems we (ie you) have a new discovery, Chris.  :)

As for the censor's initials, I suspect even the redoubtable Frank might have difficulty deciphering such fussy flamboyance......

Thanks Nick. I thought it might be a new type. I am still leaning about these marks and i trying to write them up as well !!

Agree with Nick the mute cancel is not in Gould

In Gould Vol 2 he has 5C40 with ? Marigold

I believe the censors initials are C.L.P,B. those of Lieut RNR Charles G de la Pen Beresford
appt to Marigold 16th Sept 1918

Frank,

          Thank you very much for your help. I could not find the mute cancel either but I am known to miss them! I am going to write up the censor mark as most likely Marigold. I am now looking for a photo or postcard of Marigold.

I have come across this Beresford before ,I think he was a close relation to Admiral Lord Charles Beresford.
