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 'tabs' on each side of the stamp at the bottom show that an irregularity of the comb perforation mechanism occurred as it moved from the top to the bottom of the sheet. Normally the comb perforated the top and both sides per operation, the top in effect also becoming the bottom perforation of the row before. In this instance the comb has become out of register affecting the length of the stamps in that row (and probably other rows below). Cheers Giles
