I have a 1d Red SG43 with a T02 cancel and ask if any member can give me any information concerning the cancel. I remember reading about the cancel but am unable to find the reference now, please help.

Parmenter in his Barred Numeral Cancellations of London shows this is one of the FOREIGN BRANCH T.P.O.’S 1-6, and that the letters T.O. stand for Travelling Office. He rates T.O.2 as scarcer than T.O.1, but less scarce that the higher numbers, all issued 30 April 1860.
