P110
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
7½ Pf DEUTSCHES REICH

Issued: 28th Jul 1916. Published due to the increase in the reduced local postage for Wurttemberg, and for domestic postage through the introduction of a War Tax (so-called Reichsabgabe) on 1st Aug 1916. With watermark. The image of Germania on the value stamp is with an unshaded (plain white) background.

P110 was sold at various post offices with a supplement for the Red Cross. P110 with a 2½ Pf postage stamp stuck to the center under "Postcard" on an attached edge strip, comes from a postcard machine.

P110 exists in two variants:
P110-I : with straight edges

In addition to the basic card there were many others available with private printing.
