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 marking applied to the cover is unlikely to have been applied by a postal worker. I think that it would have been applied in Greece for the information of the German firm, probably at the Greek factory by the new German management. I have never seen or heard of a similar marking.
