dc.description.abstractIn 1952 a new type of metal handstamps were introduced by the Malta Post Office, used in conjunction with the "TRADE FAIR - MALTA" cancellors used between October 2-5, at the Sub Post Office located in the grounds of San Anton Palace. These steel handstamps, of diameter 27mm, with arcs as spacers, are of the type commonly used in the British Possessions. The handstamps contain time, day, month and year slugs, with "VALLETTA" and "MALTA" arched in between the double rings, code-named by the Malta Study Circle as the "VAG - 5" series.en_GB
