This is, I believe, MiNr 419xXI. It has all the hallmarks of the Neudruck (new printing) of 1957, except for the date of cancellation (14.3.56). In my copy of Michel Spezial (2003) that date is not listed as one of those used for Gera. Do newer editions of the Spezial include that date for Gera? Or should I instead regard this as a CTO version of the original printing?
The stamp is a reprint with postmark printed at the same time as the stamp. See below for your postmark and also a list of klischee postmarks from a 2014 Michel DSK.
Thank you, Germania. Knew I could count on you. Seems I'll need a more recent edition of the Spezial. And what is the title of the source from which that first scan derives?
I believe it is from this publication; I don't own a copy but plan to get one eventually. Edit - I should add that this publication is currently out of print. You would need to find a used copy.
Great! I'll start looking for a copy. The Five Year Plan is a never-ending challenge--which is what makes it enjoyable. Thanks again. You're a wonderful asset to the Forum.
