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: Good evening. I am unfortunately not a philatelist, however I've been given four early german stamps to dispose of by a friend. The best information I can garner from the web is that they are 1871 fiscal stamps in blue with grey values of 4 1/2, 6, 15 and 30. All are (to my untrained eye) in fabulous condition. If anyone is interested in aquiring these (all are hand cancelled, the 6 also having a Danzig stamped cancellation) or indeed just pointing me in the right direction then I'd be hugely grateful. I can provide high resolution photographs if this would help. I have no idea if they even have any significant value but my friend is not well off and I'd like to help him out if I can. Any and all assistance much appreciated. I'm not trying to use your group as a free valuation tool, I just don't know where to start. Many thanks in advance Simon
