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: Giles is certainly correct in his statement that this is an "odd" cover. Reichspost regulations of the time stated that cancellations were NOT to be applied to foreign stamps or invalid German stamps. The huge over-franking alone shows that there is something wrong with the cover, but that is hardly relevant, because the stamps were invalid. There is no indication that postage due was charged on this item, which is another indication that it did not pass through the mails. Even the machine applied address looks peculiar. There is no street address. Ben Beede
