HANNOVER STAMP EXHIBITION
(11th/19th May 1935)

BACKGROUND: This postcard was issued to commemorate the Postage Stamp Exhibition held in Hannover from 11th to 19th May 1935. The postcard exists in at least 3 variants:

1. PP122-C-7 with a 3Rpf Hindenburg Medallion pre-printed stamp.
2. PP127-C-7 with a 6Rpf Hindenburg Medallion pre-printed Stamp.
3. No Pre-Printed Stamp

SPECIAL CANCEL: There was a special cancel inscribed "BRIEFMARKEN AUSSTELLUNG HANNOVER | 11.-19.5.1935 | HANNOVER" that features a posthorn and a globe (SEE BELOW).

PP122-C-7
3Rpf HINDENBURG MEDALLION

The second variant has the exact same imagery as the one above, only now there is a pre-printed Hindenburg Medallion 3Rpf stamp.

PP127-C-7
6Rpf HINDENBURG MEDALLION

The third variant has the same imagery as the cards above, only now there is a pre-printed Hindenburg Medallion 6Rpf stamp.

NO PRE-PRINTED STAMP

The first of the variants did not have a pre-printed stamp. The example below has a self adhesive Michel 556 stamp, from the 1934 "Professions" series applied in order to have the card favour cancelled with the special cancellation used at the show. Note that the design on the reverse side of this version of the card has changed from three to six lines.
