RAILWAY SORTING FIRST DIVISION — 3 December 1870 — INSUFFICIENTLY PAID. Very rare cover to Poona, prepaid 1½ annas and deficient a further ½ anna, the adhesives exceptionally cancelled by the RAILWAY SORTING FIRST DIVISION handstamps, markings normally encountered only as transit cancellations. The front additionally bears the rectangular “INSUFFICIENT” handstamp, while the reverse carries the POONA “1 ANNA” postage-due handstamp. A remarkable and highly unusual combination of railway cancellation and postage-due treatment, representing an important rarity of Indian railway postal history. Fine.
