I first
reported this Postmaster's Provisional in the early 1994, when I was in
the process of mounting Mr. Lange's Philippine Revolutionary Government
collection as a Philippine entry in the 1994 Singapore FIAP International
Stamp Exhibition.
As I recall
Mr. Lange's cover and entire collection for that matter with me for more
than a year. I never paid attention to it as the "seal" cancel more or
less looked the same with his countless official mail covers and folded
letters also on hand.
