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: These are printing dates, introduced in 1882, to identify the date of the particular printing. Later a letter (a-m) was added after the numbers to indicate the supply of the card used for the printing. Other 'data' relating to printings involve missing dots from the address lines and watermarks. A full account of this can be found in Germania Vol 51 No.2 (May 2015). Information can also be found in the Michel 'Ganzsachen-Katalog Deutschland'
