The rate at that time was 2d and I would expect such a cover may be franked to 2d only. Any assistance would be appreciated.

There are several GRANVILLE/BRITISH NEW GUINEA examples around.
I have a double ring circular seal MARBARE/BRITISH NEW GUINEA (with Crown centre) on a 1902 Tamata cover.
Who had these seals? On what basis were they used?
