GREAT BRITIAN
LONDON BAR CANCELLATIONS are generally struck in RED, deviations will be mentioned, where known and applicable.
Their purpose was to indicate that the mail was forwarded by air as far as London, so in fact: “Confirmation cancels”. Further transport was usually done by surface mail.
However, these cancels are also sometimes seen on airmail covers from the UK to abroad, which were insufficiently paid for airmail.
In the description first the period of usage is given, further the SPACE BETWEEN THE BARS, THICKNESS and LENGTH in mm are given.
Set-up: starting point is the width between the bars, A is 1 mm, B 2 mm, etc.;
a subdivision is made when the width varies: Ba, Bb, Bc, etc.
I am aware of the fact that similar cancels are mentioned under different sizes. Due to the fact that they were worn out during usage it is difficult to recognize the original size.
