The part pre-payment of 6 d. was not accepted by the Swedish postal
authorities and the entire was taxed as completely unpaid. Transit
datestamps of Melbourne, 'Australie V. Suez', Paris, Hamburg and
Gothenburg. A remarkable taxed cover from the Australian Colonies,
unrecorded by Ben Palmer, being the fourth earliest cover from
Victoria to Sweden. It is believed that there are just three
examples recorded of this Swedish tax handstamp. Fine and very
rare. Route - European and Australian Royal Mail Co: Departed

additional amount should have been 1 s. 8 d. for a total of 2 s. 2
d. via Marseilles. The additional 1 s. 2 d. only prepaid the letter
