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.
I have a stationary card cancelled 31 October 1921 with a preprinted stamp for 40 pf under the stamp are the words "Paper price surcharge 5pf "
Can someone please explain what this means.
