Right. Thanks Postmaster, great response. Noted Sawtooth roulette and Perforated.
Not my stamp, was in a brace at upcoming auction. Saved me bidding. Thank you.

Guess: Far from "run of the mill" It appears to me to be a pre-printed Aerogramme, with stamp issues adhered over (Maybe there was an inclusion) Postmarked by "Pictormark" cancellations.
A nice unusual but genuine piece.

Really out of my knowledge base, but lovely covers Stallzer. The Germans do it so well. Hopefully Postmaster will chip in. Along the same lines as Australia, collecting FDC's can be interesting, but a real headache, to manage practically. I usually take a scan, once only and keep digitally, but the hard copies in polypropylene and in a shoebox. German Pictomarks are so expressive. Australians are a little more down to Earth, with First day Covers, we have a (National) Pictormark that suits....... Ergo. "Things that Sting" in Australia National Postmark : Hastings ( Hey Stings)  |

Quote: Your database and album page of German registration labels is really helpful. You mentioned that you have 6 pages of these. Could you share the scans with me/us? Have you found a reference for these anywhere, a book or article maybe? If not, seems your collection/catalog might be it. I have a bunch of these unused labels that my grandmother had for reasons that died with her in 2003. I'll see if I have any that you are missing. Registration Labels. Sundry. Eric, These are all over the place, I'll let you sort / organise as you see fit. More to follow.    |

Thank you kindly, Postmaster. I had the first part looking like "Berlin" , how wrong was I.

That's an easy mistake to make -- in the Fraktur font, the "Z" looks like a "3", and can easily be mistaken for a "B". It took me longer than I'd like to realize that wasn't a "B", and that the line above the eagle's head wasn't a line, but a long "s". |

Rod,
Those are cinderellas commemorating the 1953 Internationale Frankfurter Briefmarkenausstellung (Internal Stamp Exhibition in Frankfurt), or IFRABA. |
