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.
Just tried to answer a question in the visitors' message board, and now I have a question of my own. What is the status of the Kohl Handbuch, which covers Germany from 1872 to 1925 (with supplements into the 1930s)? I have a copy of the 1954 reprint. Is the basic volume regarded today as out of date and no longer worthwhile? I never seem to see references to Kohl these days.
