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.

Title: Mixed DDR & West Berlin stamps common

Message: The DM-currency DDR stamps were issued on 2.7.90 when the DM was introduced and remained valid (throughout Germany) until 31.12.91. BRD stamps started to be sold in the DDR after unification on 3.10.90 after unification. So mixed frankings of BRD and these DM DDR stamps would be quite normal in the early days of united Germany. However, West Berlin and DDR stamps would never have been sold in the same post offices, so any such mixed franking would be philatelic, as here. Philatelists would have produced many some examples. Hope that helps, Rex
