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.
I used to collect Weimar period stamps in my youth 30 years ago.
I'm keen to start collecting again but I'm concerned that these days it's easier to produce fakes. Is this a major problem, and can anyone recommend reputable sources for stamps where this could be avoided? There are a lot listed on the Internet but clearly not all can be trusted.
I apologise if my query appears naive.
