Ceylon disinfected cover to India

    Hello Friends


    I thought to share an item I have:


    CEYLON 1861 SG 6 pence Cover to Bombay, India with 2 punche holes by a disinfecting apparatus. Apperently there was a cholera epidemic in Bombay at the time. I collect Ceylon covers, and this is the only item I have seen. Anyone have any info on disinfected covers of Ceylon or India?
