Pakistan 1965 Khyber Pass Definitive Stamps on Cover to India
Pakistan · 1965 · 15 Paisa & 40 Paisa
This is a postal cover sent from Pakistan to Ambala, India, in 1965. It is franked with two definitive stamps from the 1965 series featuring the Khyber Pass, a historic mountain pass connecting Pakistan and Afghanistan. The stamps, a 15 Paisa brown and a 40 Paisa blue, are tied to the cover by clear postmarks.
This cover was mailed during a period of significant tension between Pakistan and India, just before the outbreak of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, making postal history between the two nations from this specific time particularly interesting.
