1878 (JU 4) printed "National Bank of Scotland" cover from Colombo to Girvan, endorsed "Via Brindisi" and franked by 1872-80 32c slate, tied by code "C" duplex. Galle (JU 5) and Girvan (JY 1) backstamps with "ORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION" forwarding cachet alongside. A very neat and scarce single franking, and far above average. [The 32c rate was in force 1/4/77 to 31/3/79, but was little used in comparison with the cheaper Southampton route.]
