Help Please: German 200 Marks Stamp Signed December 29, 1894

I found this German stamp in a stack of bundle ware of cheap USA stamps from the 1890's. It looks to be engraved and a 200 marks value. Any help is appreciated on identification and catalog value. I collect only US if someone would like to have this stamp.

Photo attached.

It is not a 200 mark stamp. It is a .10 Mark revenue stamp. If I remember well, these revenue stamps were used on invoices when they were paid, in this particular case the bill was less than 200 Mark. I have no idea if these have any value!

This is a German revenue, a bill of exchange stamp. It is from the series of 1886, and it is the low value of the set with a face value of M. 0,10 or 10 pfennigs. The 200 marks number you see indicates that the 10 pfennig fee pays for transactions of 200 marks or less. The catalog value of this stamp is US $.03. Bear in mind that the catalog value is a relative value in this case, and that Erler - Norton values are consistently on the low side. Anyway, the item is not uncommon, or scarce.


The Erler - Norton Catalogue of the Adhesive Revenues of Germany volume 1 (1988) is the source of this information.
