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 have a Hindenburg stamp (#419) with a curious cancelation: o T *
The last character is really a 5-point black star not an asterisk. Does anyone know what this cancelation means? Is it a military franking? Thanks.
