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.
Why do I come across cards and covers where the postage is more than the advertised rate :
This card from Koln to Nowawes ( Potsdam ) has stamps to the value of 102500 Mks when according to the postal rate for between the 1 September to 20 September 1923 for rural postcard it should be 100000. Answers on a postcard please. LOL
