1952 cover sent air mail to Radio Pakistan, Karachi, with, on the back, a BAHRAIN 4 ANNAS on G.B. 4d (SG 76) and a British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia 2 ANNAS on G.B. 2d (SG 38) tied by a fine DOHA 27 OC 52 cancel. A Karachi 29 OCT 52 arrival cancel is also on the back of the cover. The post office in Doha opened in May 1950 and residents could use either the stamps of Bahrain or those of the British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia. This cover with the combination of the two stamps is rare. A fine, rare and appealing cover.
