OFFICIAL POSTCARD
10Pf DEUTSCHES REICH
Issued 1910. This postcard has a vertical dividing line and the word "Postkarte" is to the right of the vertical dividing line. There is no other inscription on the card. The carmine pre-printed stamp is a 10Pf Germania stamp inscribed "DEUTSCHES REICH". There are four dotted lines and a single solid line in the address portion of the card. The card has a Type 3 watermark.
The example below from my collection was cancelled in ZITTAU. The cancellation is interesting in that it is "12.12.12.12-1", lunchtime on 12th Dec 1912.
