Christmas stamps Great Britain USED abroad

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

I bought following cover which has stamp from Great Britain with some old stamps, but it has cancellation from Germany.!!! A classic example of Great Britain stamp USED abroad.!!

Great Britain old Christmas stamps and Gandhi stamps have cancellation from Germany.




Description by seller :- "THIS COVER WAS REGISTERED AT WIGAN AND HAS THE WIGAN 13 REGISTRATION LABEL - THE REVERSE OF THE COVER HAS 5 EXAMPLES OF THE CANCELLATION - WALLGATE NO. 170 WIGAN/LANCS - FOR 8 DEC 69.

HOWEVER THE OLD STAMPS - CHRISTMAS 1969 4d, 5d and l/6d + 1/6d GANDHI CENTENARY YEAR 1969 ISSUES ARE CANCELLED BY A GERMAN CANCELLATION FROM THE TOWN OF GOPPINGEN WITH THE ADDITIONAL WORDING - NACHTRAGLICH ENTWERTET - WHICH I THINK TRANSLATES AS LATER CANCELLED.

THE 5d STAMP IS TORN AND THE ENVELOPE IS SLIGHTLY FRAYED AROUND THE EDGES"

What do you think about this cover ? Is it really used abroad and genuine or forgery as we all know what's is happening in Gandhi philatelic collection!!

Thanks
Gandhi Stamps Club
