Showing framed “DEAL/SHIP LETTER”, London circular “C/21JY21/1827” single ring in red, Foreign Office despatch “F/2 5 7/27” single ring in black, straight line “ANGLETERRE” in red applied when the letter reached France. First charged “1/4” (1s.4d.), deleted and altered to “2/4” (2s.4d.) in black, at 8d. ship letter rate (in use from 1819 to 1840) + 8d. British inland rate (74 miles) from Deal to London (1812 to 1838) + 1s. rate from London to France. The letter could not be sent on from the London GPO Foreign Branch until all British postage due had been paid, consequently the letter was transferred to the Returned Letter Office where it received reference number “RLO 2699”. A printed notice was sent to the addressee informing him of the need to pay 2s.4d. (8Fr.60c.). Upon payment the black ms. notation “2/4” was deleted to be replaced by “2/4” in red denoting postage paid. The letter was finally charged “18” (décimes = 1Fr.80c.) being French postage due for the internal delivery.

This letter was sent by French Surgeon L Gautier on board a visiting vessel commanded by Captain John Upham and includes the information (in French) “Captain Low is leaving immediately for England. We are going to leave the island to go to our destination. We have found at this place all that we were promised by the Spaniards, we have eaten much local game and fish. Captain Upham has taken on two passengers here - an American belonging to the ‘Sprei’ and a Spaniard from the island of Chiloe. Captain Norris of the ‘Sprei’ is a little better of the scurvy. Please excuse my style of writing. They are hurrying me to have lunch and go ashore to advise Captain Norris, who is sailing in Captain Low’s ship.”

Carried by the Adeona, which left Port Louis on around Jan. 28th and arrived at Deal on around July 20th. Captain Andrew Low was master of the brigantine Adeona, a British vessel registered in Greenock and engaged in sealing. Accompanied by copy of article published in The Philatelist in Feb. 1965, with subsequent rates analysis by Alan Robertson, and a full transcript of the letter. Considered to be the most important pre-stamp letter from the Falkland Islands and in very fine condition.

475 ✉ The Only Known Cover bearing Falkland Islands Number One – A Crown Jewel of Falklands Islands Philately

1879 envelope to Bromsgrove, Worcestershire with 1878 1d. strip of three (one with repaired corner) and single tied by the first known use of the “F.I.” steel obliterator (Ob.1/78) with type F.1 c.d.s. “AP 4/1879” at lower left, “MY 19/79” arrival backstamp, and with the envelope showing “LANCASHIRE WITCH/R.M.Y.C.” illustration on flap. Carried by the Black Hawk departing Stanley on Apr. 4 and thence on the llimani from Montevideo to Liverpool, arriving on May 19.

This cover was sent on the first mail after the islands had joined the U.P.U. on Apr. 1 1879, the imperial rate being reduced to 4d. The need for a 1d. stamp was due to two reasons, firstly as the postal rate for newspapers and books was 1d. at this time, but also because it was intended for use as a supplementary value, the only other value then available being the 6d. stamp. It seems to have seen very little use until the imperial letter rate was reduced from 6d. to 4d. Fourpenny stamps did not arrive in the colony until Sept. 1879 until which time the only way to make up the 4d. rate was by using four of the 1d. stamps.

Ex Dudley Stone and first mentioned in The Philatelist in July 1941 (when Stone’s entire collection was offered for sale by private treaty), subsequently ex Ken Clough (purchased from a dealer on the Strand in 1947 for just £26) and later sold for £21,000 in 1997, thereafter ex Norman Hubbard, being sold for £31,000 in 2002. Heijtz certificate (2011). Photo also on front cover.

This is the one cover known bearing the first 1d. stamp and is regarded not only as the most important cover of the Falkland Islands in existence but also counted among the major rarities of the British Empire.

The Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group

Founded 1970

The Group was founded following a meeting of some 50 collectors gathered together by Malcolm Barton, the current President. Membership grew rapidly, reaching 125 in 1972, 220 in 1976 and 425 in 2005. The Group is truly international in its membership structure. The objects of the Group are to research into all aspects of philately connected with the Falkland Islands and their former Dependencies, leading to the publication of findings and to foster Falkland Islands philately by all means including exchanging of information and philatelic material. Research is carried out by individual members, collated through a nominated leader for each subject. A weekend meeting takes place annually during which an Annual General Meeting is held. Meetings are also held on a regular basis in various parts of the UK and occasional meetings have been held in other countries, including USA, Australia, Norway, Sweden and the Falkland Islands. Members, whether beginners or advanced collectors, are encouraged to attend The Upland Goose, a quarterly journal, is distributed to all members and to leading philatelic libraries. The publication has been awarded silver medals at international exhibitions. Members ‘Sales and Wants’ are published with the journal without charge. Two auctions of members’ material are held each year, one a postal auction and the other live at the weekend gathering. Other material surplus to members’ requirements is available through a popular circulating packet, limited because of insurance constraints to subscribers within the UK.

FIPSG is a member of ABPS and the American Philatelic Society.
