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: Alan, Thank you for your comment. That thought had also occurred to me but I have examined the stamp under much higher magnification and resolution and while on the lo-res scan, the postmark obscuring is not apparent, on a the hi-res it is clear that the part of the overprint which coincides with the much lighter postmark has been obscured to an noticeable degree. I attach the two relevant parts in this message and the next.
