Postage Stamps used in the German Marshall Islands Eagle Issues Philatelic Covers by Dirk H.R. Spennemann |
Introduction
|
Philatelic Covers are those which have been created by stamp dealers and collectors desireous to manufacture varieties and clever variations. The contemporary stamp press was very critical of these; and still collectors tend to regard these as less interesting than the demand items with the correct postage. One of the major creators was A.M. Metz in Nürnberg. Some of the 'Metz covers' are illustrated here, while a more extensive documentation can be found on a seperate page. Philatelic covers with yacht issue stamps can be found here. |
