In the coming months I shall be selling a number of unique hand made Postcard Mock ups and Photocards including real photographs, made with original photographs. I have still not determined the producer of these items but they are linked and probably produced by Richard Perkins with his initials on the back of some along with his meticulous ship descriptions.In each case the image (mainly photographs) has been glued and/or impressed into the back card. For a serious postcard collector these are a very special part of Royal Navy history connected to the blue ribbon names in this field !  

Description

HMS "Ceylon"  was a  Fiji -class   light cruiser  of the  Royal Navy . She was of the  Ceylon  sub class, named after the  island  and British colony of  Ceylon  (now Sri Lanka). The cruiser saw service in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres during the  Second World War . In the postwar era, she participated in actions in Egypt and the  Korean War . In 1960 she transferred to the navy of  Peru  and renamed  Coronel Bolognesi . The cruiser was scrapped in 1985.

Back:             Postally unused. 

Condition:     Fine.    See high resolution scans for details.  

Shipping:      Each card is shipped in a hard backed envelope and in its own plastic sleeve. Cards will be doubled up if more than one is purchased.

ALL the postcards that we sell are ORIGINALS . We have scanned directly from the original card and the image may sometimes be less vibrant than the postcard itself.

                              As a collector I hope you enjoy this purchase as much as I enjoy those that I collect!
