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: I agree that the destination is Bromberg in Prussia. The rate of 3g for up to 1 Loth over 20 Meilen did apply throughout the German-Austrian postal union (the raison d'etre for the union). Perhaps the letter weighed more (1 Loth = 16.2/3gm). Also, is the T-in-circle mark a Taxe mark at this early date? I'm not convinced about it. Is there any other evidence of postage due?
