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, it's not so much about the differences in the overall size of the designs but that on the earlier one the central breast shield is smaller than that on the later one. These can be very hard to see on many of the stamps unless the embossing is still really crisp. The attached picture should help. Giles du Boulay Chairman, G&CPS
