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.
On a resent purchase of Germania stamps I found 5Pf green which looks normal from the front but has a negative image at the back of the stamp plus it has the gum on top of the negative image. Never ever have I seen this, I was perplexed to say the least, shame its got a bit of brown on the edges. Is this a common occurrence or unique? Can any one help.
