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: An interesting question. The listing in Michel is ambiguous but it says that the 11 Dec. 1943 favour cancel was applied ‘on request’ (auf Wunsch) from which I infer that postally used FDCs also exist with genuine cancels dated 25 Jan 1944. I think it must be these latter which command the stated Michel price of 400 Euros. This is rather borne out I think by the low market prices of the stamp cancelled with the favour cancel as found through a quick search of internet sites such as ebay and delcampe. Best wishes Giles
