Have just bought a large Germany collection and at the moment do not own an up to date Michel...would anyone be kind enough to let me know catalogue numbers and values for the following three items....
1.
The "Fight for peace" set should be postmarked in 1950 rather than in 1959 (it also fits the printing reference on the envelope). These stamps were issued in December 1950 and remained valid until March 1952. In 1959 they would not have been accepted - there was a reform of the postal fees in 1954 when all prices were made multiples of 5 Pfennig, so that these stamps would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Maybe a better scan would clarify things.
But writing the catalog values on the envelopes was rather foolish. That lowers the value immediately.
