Peru SON

[guyana1230]

Found this today, a Peruvian stamp with a lovely clear Pasco postmark.  I think the date is 9 June 88, which would mean the stamp was issued in 1866? Doesn't look that old to me.





Looked up Pasco on the net and it says Pasco is a region with Cerro de Pasco as the capital.  Also says it is a silver mining town

guyana1230 - My 2010 Scott catalogue shows this as #13 issued in 1866-67 with a used value of $2.25. It is a nice stamp with a great postmark.
