The franking of the April cover is most unusual as the 2c. Llama stamps were issued for the franking of letters sent locally in Lima. The franking on this cover with the 5c. "Train" and the two 2c. Llama's only adds up to 9c. instead of the 10c. due, however there were no 1c. stamps with which the rate could be made up and one must suppose that the extra 1c. was in fact paid at the Post Office in cash at the time of sending. This rare cover represents the only genuine usage of the Llama 2c. on cover to an overseas destination. With Brian Moorhouse (1993) and Peter Holcombe (1993) certificates.
