Hi!
in a old all world auction I found this example. I only had a small low resolution scan of the stamp until I received the stamp yesterday. The postmark seems to be a violet rubber type double circle postmark of KAYENA dated 4 AUG 1919. Although it is only a faint strike, I`m nevertheless happy with it. Can anyone confirm the postmark and a rating of RRRR?
