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 rate looks fine. Half the rate was the general fee for a foreign letter (25 Rpf.) and half was for the airmail surcharge from New York to Costa Rica. My source is Reinhold Schwarzer, Die Luftpostgebuehren fuer deutsche Briefsendungen (1926 - 1945), published by the author in 1989. The page citation is 81. This is an extremely useful book. I have the Luftpostlisten for the 1930s and 1940s, but I generally simply check this volume. Benjamin R. Beede
