These were both in my mailbox on the same day. I sent them back in September of 2023. The station postmarks were updated slightly a few years ago and these are the first examples from these stations that I have received. The Mawson cover looks good. And the Davis cover is ok but the inkpad must have been dry in places or partly frozen or something. The slogan on the back of that one says "Davis Station. Riviera of the South"
I actually received two covers from Davis. I had learned that mail to India's Bharati station passes through Davis so I sent a cover to Bharati to be returned to me via Davis. It came back pretty much like the one pictured here with no additional markings on it. No indication that it actually went to Bharati despite the fact that I addressed it to that base and in the request letter asked if they could add any base-related stamps they might have. Guess none were available.
