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've looked the tax stamp up in Feuser & Münzberg's "Deutsche Vorphilatelie: Supplement" and on page 103 it tells me this "3½ Groschen" stamp was applied in London (from 1852). It's in Prussian currency. Ludwigshafen am Rhein was in the Bavarian Palatinate so would have used the Kreuzer currency (ratio 7:2). Hope that helps. Rex
