OTHER P183 CARDS IN MY COLLECTION

1. This postally used example was posted in BERLIN on 12th Dec 1931 and destined for LEIPZIG.




2. The example below is the answer (A) portion of a postally used P183. It was posted in FRIEDRICHSHAFEN on Lake Constance and delivered to an address in RAVENSBURG on 19.04.1937. The pre-printed 8 Rpf stamp was invalid at the time so the sender has affixed a valid 6 Rpf LUFTSCHUTZ commemorative stamp to cover the cost of the postage.
