Hagen, Germany (North Rhine - Westphalia)
March 23, 1946

I can't make out the purple marking very well. Has anyone seen it before and know what it means? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Were these used just commonly because of a shortage of stamps or was it more of a business usage marking?

Though the Allies had issued stamps by that time, there were acute shortages for a lengthy period, so provisional payment markings like this are common.
