Can anyone tell me about this sheet? I have no idea where to find the Scott # or value. What year is it from? I'm assuming it is from Germany between WWI and WWII but I'm not sure.

These stamps are most likely part of the series of stamps that were printed as originating from Staffa. Some Staffa stamps have been overprinted with the words, "Ibra Munchen". As such they are cinderellas.

It does look like a stamp show cinderella. However, I do not believe it is a cinderella from Staffa. I'm pretty sure the Staffa cinderellas for Ibra Munchen all have Staffa on them (at least all the ones I have seen), as is the general case for cinderellas from Staffa.

The only things that could originate from Staffa are birds and smelly seawater !!
These sheets were issued by the IBRA organizing committee on their own watermarked paper, a very nice addition to any Exhibition collection. A very good idea to use their own paper and it adds a lot to the sheet. Other Exhibition organisers have done the same, WIPA being one of them. A beauty.

The bogus stamps inscribed Staffa are very cheaply produced it's doubtful they would go to such lengths to produce such an item.

Of course I might have erred in my opinion.

Londonbus1...Oh God ! I hope not !

Sorry, I missed your post, LB1!

No, I believe your analysis is correct and our replies both overlap and are complementary.

This sheet can be found on ebay, listed as a cinderella. Presumably put out as a souvenir at the International Stamp Exhibition, Munich, 1973. It is copied from the souvenir sheet Germany released in 1930 for the International Philatelic Exhibition, Berlin (SG 464a), which appears to be Germany's first souvenir sheet.
