The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
To all collectors; Be advised that a collection was recently sold in the States, and that virtually all are reprints bearing the forged expertiser's mark of Schulz BPP.
Some are now in the hands of the BPP, but it is to be expected that many more will continue to be offered via Ebay.
