Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
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.

Message: The difference is that the sheets sold complete have Strichelleisten (dashes) in the column 4 gutter, whereas those used for making up booklets have blank gutters in order that the booklet panes themselves have no marginal printing. The Strichelleisten have been added as an 'overprint' in a second printing operation, by a different printing method!! Typography rather than photogravure (you can see the difference under a magnifying glass).
