Incoming Mail from Portuguese India

 

Nova-Goa - 1934

 

Nova-Goa, 21 Aug 1934

Villa Heliar, Walferdange,

Incoming mail to Luxembourg from the Portuguese colonies in India and Asia is especially challenging.  So I was pleased to recently add this cover to my collection.  It's the first I've seen from the 1930s or earlier from Goa.

If you have any such covers that you'd like to share, I'd be glad to post them here on the blog. 

Franking:

4 Reis (3) & 1½ Tanga [= 18 Reis)

Allegory of Portugal and 

Vasco de Gama's Flagship 'San Gabriel'
