TAG DER BRIEFMARKE
THE DAY OF THE STAMP

BACKGROUND: As in previous years there was a special handstamp used to commemorate the Day of the Stamp in 1939. The circular design features the inscription "Tag der Briefmarke" across the middle with the town or city and date above. Below the inscription are three logo and these differ for each town or city. The centre logo is the coat of arms of the individual city and the logos on either side are either K.d.F, R.d.P or W.H.W logos. These special handstamps were used in 27 towns and cities in 1939 between the 7th and 9th Jan.
