PP122-C-90 and PP142-C-34
(28th May/12th Jun 1938)

BACKGROUND: These two postcards were published to mark the 1st performance show of the local German Collectors' Group held in Zwickau, Saxony and depict the Konig-Albert Museum. The event ran from the 28th May through to the 12th of Jun 1938.

There are two cards differentiated by the pre-printed value stamp and colour of the image as follows:

PP122-C-90: 3Rpf stamp and blue image.
PP142-C-34: 5Rpf stamp and green image.

In addition PP142-C-34 can be found with an incorrect date stamp of 1937.

SONDERSTEMPEL: There was a special cancel used that is inscribed "ZWICKAU (SACHS) | Postwertzeichenschau d.D.S.G" and is visible on the two examples shown below.
