A cover of the highest importance to Malayan and Indian Philately

Our next sale contains a most extraordinary item: The Gilmer cover, which travelled 10,000km around the British empire by sea, from Malaysia to Mauritius in 1854, just four weeks after the first stamps were issued in Malaysia.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to use a plastic cover for its protection.

Watch a clueless SG big shot handling a super fragile and unique 166 year cover, worth his annual salary, with his bare hands, no white cotton gloves - klutz

[@WilliamHenryRoll]

I thought the same.

[@hunironman]

Absolutely agree! Presentation like this MUST be demonstrated in a highly protected and professional way, plastic cover, white cotton gloves, etc.
