WWII 1940 Bermuda Censor Cover w/ Edited 159 in Black Ink on Tape Form 149 RARE For Sale

This is a wonderful Bermuda WWII Censor cover. It was sent from Hartford, Connecticut, USA and forwarded twice to Geneva, Switzerland on 12/3/1940.It was forwarded in Geneva on 1/1/1941 and again in Territet on 1/2/1941.It was initially censored with the FORM 149 Censor tape. However, that was then EDITED with a 159 IN BLACK INK! This is some outstanding WWII Bermuda Censor Rarity!!!Why is this so special? Each Bermuda Censor received his or her own unique number that they would then use whenever they censored mail. When they were reassigned, any unused censor tapes remained behind and were then edited with a new censor number after the new censor came in.This irregular system only lasted a short time until the new censor received their own printed number tape. Covers like these with the edited number are EXCEPTIONALLY RARE!
