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: The 50 heller stamp is a perfectly normal issue of Austria, S.G. 352. The inscription is "Deutschosterreich", or German Austria. The first post-war stamps were inscribed "German Austria" despite the Treaty of Saint-Germain which explicitly forbad any union between Germany and any part of Austria. Hope this helps.
