1891 (May 20) Cover to London, the 2½d rate paid by 1d brownish claret strip of three, the left stamp diagonally bisected, each tied by a cork obliterator with Falklands Islands c.d.s alongside. Backstamped in London (June 26), carried on S.S "Pentaur" which left for Hamburg on May 21st. Flap missing and seal cut out, otherwise a fine and attractive example of this bisect, officially authorised in January 1891 when the rate to the U.K and Empire was reduced from 4d to 2½d.
