1898 Thi-32 (തി -32) Alleppey Piravaka (ആലപ്പുഴപ്രവക) to Quilon.. cancel errors.

1898 Half chuckram stamp affixed on private envelope from Alleppey Piravaka (Thi-32) to Quilon. 




 


൩ /ആലപ്പുഴെ പ്രവക /മ 15. (1898/Alleppey Piravaka/ Feb 3)


73 instead of 1073. 

൩ instead of ൧o൩.

A revised version of the last pre-stamp period cancellation.Interesting alphabet usage of ആലപ്പുഴെ (instead of ആലപ്പുഴ) & പ്രവക (പിറവക).




Not recorded in Dr Mooss's book of Travancore.




Quilon /Ma /16/73 

(കൊല്ലം/മകരം 16/73..Feb 4, 1898)



'ന' with tail instead of '൬' ..one loop missing... Error...should be ൧൬.


Interesting usage of Allapuzhay (ആലപ്പുഴെ)..limited period of time where they used this.

And about Piravaka (പ്രവ്ക -- പിറവക), debate is still going on, whether Piravaka is  located near a market place (Peedika.. Angadi-- പീടിക സ്ഥല൦ -- അങ്ങാടി)  
 or is it in the vicinity of Judicial/Government offices? 
Or Piravaka is a Suburb/Rural or Mofussil Anchal office?
