| Abstract: | A Notice "Discontinuance of Use at Malta of Postage Stamps of The United Kingdom" was released by Roger Duke, H.M. Postmaster, at The General Post Office, Valletta, on the 8th December 1884. This Notice was reproduced on Page 15, of the last issue of The P. S.M. Magazine. In fact Great Britain stamps ceased to be used in Malta, after December 31st, 1884, when all postal matters of the Island passed under the control of the local authorities. It was stressed in this Notice that all letters bearing "Imperial stamps" posted after the 31st December, 1884, will be treated as unpaid and charged on delivery. However, a piece is known dated 1 JA 85 showing GB 2 1/2 with Malta 1885 1/2d green and 1d rose. [excerpt] |
