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.
Can anyone explain the difference between Thurn and Taxis stamps SG74-78 and 79-85? (Issues of 1865 and 1866 repectively)
The catalogue describes the first batch as 'Rouletted 16 uncoloured' and the second as 'Rouletted 16 in colour'. I have recently obtained one from each batch, but have failed to spot where the difference lies.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Allan
