These are the postal rates set by the Allied Military Government in Germany after the Second World War

The first rate period began on March 19, 1945 when the first stamps were issued in Aachen, Germany and lasted
until March 1, 1946 when all the postal rates were doubled. These stamps were demonetized on November 1, 1946.

These are the most common Registered covers you'll find to make up the 42pf. and 84pf. rates.

Of course some people were creative making up these rates or the local post office was simply out of the 42pf. stamps. There was a shortage of postage stamps throughout the period these stamps were used.

Let's start with 42pf - a registered out-of-town letter weighting up to 20 grams - first rate period.

54pf - a registered out-of-town letter weighting between 20 and 250 grams- first rate period

84pf. - a registered out-of-town letter weighting up to 20 grams - second rate period.

Registration form for this registered cover

Special cancel for expo in Munich on the last day these stamps were valid.

108pf - a registered out-of-town letter weighting between 20 and 250 grams - second rate period

Continuing with the frankly, bewildering generosity on SCF
I just received this Catalogue from SCF member CALSTAMP

It came at an opportune moment, as I was just encountering
the AMG stamps, in the Brainard Kremer France Revenues Monograph (Travel Permits)

Thanks Jim, I am indebted.

Yes, there are a lot of good folks here. I have this book too and several others on the AMG Germany.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll add more on it in a few days. Have you seen my other one on AMG Germany?

I'll digest that in due course, still a right novice on AMG
I have the US sets, but had not a great deal of interest,
until finding the Travel Permits stamps.

Didn't realise their (AMG) wide usage.

Great thread PostageDueGuy, thank you for posting it.

I happen to be working on several AMG pages right now including this one, I like the way the previous collector made the notations.

Amen to that,
if making a new page, I always try to copy across the notations.
Nice page Don.

Besides registry they had COD, special delivery, postage due, courier mail, postal cards, and postal checks.
