TAG DER BRIEFMARKE
COMMEMORATIVE SONDERKARTE

BACKGROUND: This special commerorative card or Sonderkarte was issued by the R.d.P to coincide with the commemorate "Day of the stamp" postal items. The cards were used as entry tickets to the R.d.P's collector's event and the idea was to remove the lower portion upon entry. As can be seen in the example below this was not always the case and it isn't difficult to find 'unused' examples although 'used' examples are far more common.

There were ten special postmarks, all with different military themes used with the release of this stamp. There were also 9 postcards released at about the same time, P241 was an official postcard with a 6Rpf indicia Hindenburg stamp as well as a set of 8 postcards issued by the K.d.F Collectors Group.

QUANTITY PRINTED: Unknown
