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: Hello Hans, Reused covers are interesting but unfortunately not rare, but also not that common either. As hyper-inflation set in it does become more common from about the middle of 1923. Your example in fact shows the use for two different postal rates within the same postal period. From 06.05.20 - 31.03.21 the only thing that could be a 10 Pfennig rate is Inland Printed matter, (Drucksache) up to 50g weight. Then the only rate that will take 40 Pfennig is the Inland letter rate,(local or distance) up to 20g weight. I hope the above information is of some use to you. Regards, Alec.
