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.
Hello all,
I have now been collecting German stamps with perfins for about 5 years and have in the region of 200 differnt examples. My sphere are those in the region of 1900-1939. I've heard there's a collection being put together in Germany of them all and i've tried getting in touch to find out more without success. Does anybody have any ideas where i may find some more information on the companies etc., that employed them.
