First Day Covers of Bradbury Definitives

• These "Bradbury" Definitives First Day Covers were cancelled at the "Dacca Sadar Night P.O." on April 30, 1973.

• Cancelled at the "Dacca Sardar" post office on 30 April, 1973.

• This First Day Cover has a postmark reading "Engineering University, Dacca" on 30 April, 1973.

• This First Day Cover is cancelled "Philatelic Bureau, Dacca G.P.O."

• In the early 2000s copies of this cover began to appear on the philatelic market in Bangladesh. The cover appears as if it were made recently and is very clean and is on a very white envelope. This location had never been recorded over the years and it is undoubtedly a fake. The post office origin of this cover is PUTHIA BAZAR , under the District of DACCA. The first indication that this is a fake is that the cancellations are in English. For close to 20 years English was not used and had been replaced by Bangla. This cover was made by Muzammel Haq who had purchased some English cancellers when they had been changed to Bangla.
