From the beginning of the town's Wikipedia entry:
"Dülken is a town located in the North Rhine-Westphalia state of Germany. It has a population of about 20,000. It is part of the municipality of Viersen."
Note the dots of the umlaut inside the legs of the "U" in the cancel. |

Rod,
Also, when looking for German town name on Falling Rain, you have to take into account the German letters -- Dülken is under Dü, not Du. |

Thank you all. I was disappointed when I didn't find any reference on "stampsx". My mistake ... I didn't see the 2 points above U.

Quote: Dülken is under Dü, not Du. Right, of course, Thanks Postmaster. Had noticed before when searching FR, but never used it. |

Hi, Bad-Saarow cancellation of this type last used on 11.1.1945 (according to stampsx) The cancellation has no star to left of (Mark) - only M. can be seen. Could it be a fake cancellation? These local stamps are listed in Michel only MNH.  |

Cupram, the Bad Saarow stamps you show are listed under "Unofficial Issues". (Similar stamps with denominations of 10 Pf and 15 Pf are considered "Official Issues".) There is a footnote which notes that these stamps were produced using genuine postal slips and the original typewriter, and were postmarked with backdated canceling devices.
I would categorize the postmarks as fake. The stamps I would categorize as genuine, but unofficially issued. Definitely collectible. |

Found this and it is not as easy to find as you would think. It is now in my "stuff I like" collection Sachsen Hilfswerk charity label on cover with postmark. Really the only way to know that it was not put on later. Posted in Stendal Sachsen   |

Thanks vayolene. Post mark of the Third Reich used during the Allied occupation? Interestingly, I didn't find it in stampsx or philastempel. |
