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 come accross two early austrian arms stamps-1863- which have been cancelled `Saar` which was then, i think,in prussia. i would like to know how this came about although there may be a simple explanation but i can`t think of any.
