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 often use watermark fluid to detect watermarks - however it is now almost impossible to buy any in the UK so I was planning to use lighter fuel. Are there any known problems using lighter fuel on German stamps?
