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: Although the German colonies and related topics are not in my collecting area, I was interested by your question. The following website http://www.namibstamps.com/history.htm indicates that Cape Colony stamps were used at Walvis Bay beginning in 1884. There seem to be a number of other relevant websites. I seem to recall making a very simple search: Walvis Bay, stamps, German. I hope this helps, Ben Beede
