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: I note that the colour of DNG 1d is given in Michel as 'lebhaftorangebraun', as you state, but the colour of the unoverprinted stamp (45cb) is given more fully as 'lebhaftorangebraun (ockerbraun)'. Comparing these two colours in the Michel Farbenführer with your images I would say that the one you state as expertised by Steuer does indeed seem to be correct for 1d. Whereas the lighter coloured stamp seems to correspond more to the colour ‘hellocker’ in the Farbenführer thus DNG 1e (DR45ca).
