1880 (15 Nov.) Entire letter from Limassol to Nicosia, franked with 1880 1d red, plate 208, tied by fine "942" numeral of Larnaca, with fine LIMASSOL/NO.15.80/CYPRUS cds below. Reverse upper flap missing, otherwise fine. The stamp was presumably left uncancelled at Limassol and subsequently cancelled in transit at Larnaca. Very unusual and scarce.
