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 postmark that looks like a Hamburg 004 from the Heuser book The only difference is that my postmark is a K1 (single circle) whilst it is listed as a K2 by Heuser. Is this a later postmark?
My other query what does ¨aptierter K2¨ mean as this word does not appear in any of my dictionaries? Regards Norman
