Germany 25 Paras

I have a German stamp 20 Pf Mi. 87 hand stamped 25 paras.
Especially the S after Para wonders me. Does anybody knows from which German region this stamp is

German post offices in the Ottoman Empire overprinted German stamps in paras and piastres. However, the 20pf stamp is overprinted in 1 piastre. This looks handwritten, rather than hand-stamped.

Also thought of the Ottoman Empire but as you wrote 20 Pf is with 1 Piastre. Also there is never an S after Para for the Ottoman Empire stamps.
Maybe it's handwritten. Cancel is on top of the 25 paras text/stamp

I don't have a photo handy, but the official overprints for offices in Turkey don't look like this. Michel doesn't list any overprints that look anything like this one, so if this is indeed from Germany's post offices in Turkey, this must have been done locally, or even by a collector after the fact.

It is completely bogus,

I don't know if it is 'bogus,' but it certainly isn't an official overprint (nor does it try to appear so in my opinion.) I wonder if we'll ever know the history behind this one.

If you look, the text "25 paras" is written over the cancellation.

Looks to me that the cancellation is actually on top of the "25 paras" text

The machine cancellation indicates that this 20 pfennig stamp was used in Germany. Whether or not the fraudster wrote "25 PARAS" on it before or after it was used is irrelevant.

No, looks the opposite on my home computer!

I repeat completely bogus.

The cancel ends in G, there were no German Post Offices in Turkey that ends with a G, there are most probably 100's in Germany,

Stamps are often use or misuse as revenue stamps , I'm not saying it's the case here, but if it was the case they can have locally overprint anything.




so what is this ?



German will not use Paras with a s but British yes

The cancellation is on top of the 25 paras

British post office employe using a German stamp???

Over and over again at SCF we see someone presenting his or her unique and rare provisional or plate flaw. Interestingly, theirs is always the only copy in a popular collecting area that has been researched and studied for a long time. It nevers occurs to the owner, or they can't accept the fact that what they have is a crude fabrication.

How many machine cancelling devices were used in the German Offices in the Ottoman Empire? The answer: zero.

If one of these phantom/nonexistent machine cancellors were miraculously discovered to have been used 100 years later, what town/city in the Ottoman Empire where Germany had a post office had a name ended in a "G '? The answer: There are none. Again, zero possibility.

If you disagree and believe that this is a unique and rare provisional, you should send it to a Bundespruefer in Germany to confirm your belief. You can find these expertizers on the website. They are connected with the Bund Deutscher Philatelisten.

So parts of the word paras is in blue and others in black or it's seems the blue as been printed over the black . Look on the s it's more obvious
