AV2 Markings used in Hong Kong

Between 1940 and 1941, an AV2 Marking used on the airmails. There are two different types. I show two covers here representing each type, hope more collectors would be aware of this scarce markings on the cover. Have fun!

Murray Heifetz published a book "O.A.T. and A.V.2 Markings" a few years ago, it would be a good reference for you if you are interesting to collect related markings.

The first cover with Murray's Type5 AV2 Marking on it. This Marking was recorded to be used from Dec.27, 1940 to Oct. 31, 1941. It is used in Hong Kong. Most are used in 1941 and large part on the India-USA covers.
The Marking on this cover is a little different from the Marking shows in Murray's book. It shows rectangle frame around A.V.2. Do not know if it is a variety or not.

The second cover shows Type 5a. The difference is that "2" is curved in this Marking.
The earliest recorded usage is: Sept. 25, 1941, the latest recorded usage is: Nov. 26, 1941.

In Murray's book, only 21 covers recorded or seen at that time. About 9 covers from China to USA.
The cover I show here is the latest recorded use. The letter was lucky to be carried on the last clipper flew to USA.

那书是2006年第三版,后来又发现了不少。就和鲨鱼涌戳一样,原来不为人们重视,只要留心,还是会有新发现的。

您 6楼中的“2” 是直脚吗?这也是Type5型的较晚使用例。
李兄好东西真多。

Murray书是2006年第三版,AV2Marking过去没有人重视,所以没有记录的应当很多。就像鲨鱼涌戳一样,等到人们重视了,应当有更多发现。
另外,AV2和OAT戳在很多地方都有使用。

4楼就是中途岛的封
寄往中途岛的封本身很少见,加上是最后一班飞美国航班,更难得了。

扣留封我要找找看,找到了贴图大家欣赏。

Thanks Hart for sharing your information, wish other collectors can also share their collections or information.
We can see AV2 frequently on Ebay or other auctions, the AV2 itself with normal date is not too expensive.

这个是香港被扣封。12月4日10:30 九龙寄出, 同日11:30 到Victoria,没有赶上去美国飞机,日本占领香港后被扣。那个九龙戳好像是日本戳,可能在昭和17年2月12日(1942年)试图退回位于九龙的寄件人,但是人已经不再原址,于是一直扣留到1945年日本投降。
欢迎大家讨论,共同学习进步。
