I could access it from my home Internet, but if I tried over cellular I got a 403. I think they’ve blocked certain IP address ranges. If you want to, I can post a support question there, but I’d need to know your IP address. |

I am aware that these official stamps are listed under Bavaria in the Scott system - and are therefore also placed accordingly on the Steiner album pages. Nevertheless, they are not Bavarian official stamps in the legal sense. The same applies to the last Bavarian definitive stamps from the beginning of 1920 with the same "Deutsches Reich" overprint. After the foundation of the German Empire in 1871 and the introduction of stamps of the German Empire, Bavaria continued to have the right to issue its own stamps until 1920 (this also applied to Württemberg, but otherwise to no other member state of the German Empire or now the Weimar Republic). On April 1, 1920, Bavaria (like Württemberg) was incorporated into the Reich postal territory. The stamps of Bavarian origin with the overprint "Deutsches Reich", which were issued from April 1, 1920, are issues of the German Reich. Although they were primarily used in Bavaria, they could be used throughout the entire Reich territory - as the Scott catalog points out in each case.
This is not intended to be a "know-it-all" statement, but merely to ensure accuracy.

The term "farewell issue" refers to the stamps that were in fact Bavarian, i.e. those without overprint...

I stand "corrected" and appreciate your response - I conclude that my German history of the German Reich needs some upgrade René |

Hi hrdoktorxI'm sorry I didn't have more time to check, but I think the letters are thicker.  Anyway, I think the stamp has a vertical red silk thread and it's good to check. |

Indeed, my stamp has a vertical silk thread clearly visible, and the thickness of the letters match the photograph in the album and the other stamps from that period and pattern that I have, so I'm more doubtful about your comparison copy, actually...

hrdoktorx, I opened the specialized Michel catalog and found that this stamp was printed on 2 types of plates. The differences that are mentioned are only rounded corners for Plate 1 and sharp corners for Plate 2.  It is obvious that your stamp is Plate1. I don't understand why the thickness of the letters was not mentioned in the catalog.

Thanks for the clarification, gstamps. The stamp only came with the mention MiNr. 3, and no further details. My previous dealer was always much more thorough in identifying varieties. |

This is not my area ... just starting to go down this road. So, comments and suggestions are very welcome. I picked up this Bavarian cover last week and I've been playing with it this evening. The Mühlradstempel [Mill Wheel] obliterator on the Mi.Nr. 10, 6Kr stamp is numbered 349. I understand this means it was posted in Titimonig near the border with Austria. [Source: Beck/Holzschuher: Die bayerischen Mühlradstempel, München 1911] There is no receiving postmark with a date. There is a hint of one on the upper right but no amount of digital coaxing on my part allows any of it to be readable. The stamp was issued on January 10, 1862 and valid until December 31, 1869. It is reasonable to assume that it was sent sometime during the 1860s. The cover is addressed to Hessen-Darmstadt, Nidda in Hesse ... about 500Km north. There is what appears to be a transit postmark from Neustadt, I assume the one in Hesse. There is a numeral 27 ... but no month or year. It's a marvellous semi-circle in black ink. Neustadt is about 90Km from Nidda. There is a blue crayon mark on the cover ... not sure why. Delivered? Refused?  On the other side of the cover is what I take to be an arrival cancel. Can't make out the location or the year, but it appears to be dated December 27 in the afternoon (NM?).  Still working on it, but advice is welcome. |

Thanks franoise ... now that you point it out, I cannot not see it (smile). Thanks as well for the explaination of 'NM' ... I've seen 'N' on German postmarks forever and knew it meant 'afternoon' but I was never sure why. This Bavarian cancel is the first time I've seen the two letters 'NM' ... again, now it makes sense. Over time, I assume the second letter was just dropped as being both unnecessary and to save space. Cheers, |

Thanks for the auction example of this type of cancellation Rod rod222 ... it looks (based on a data point of one, anyway) that it shows the month and day in an over and under configuration. No year data.  That would suggest that one of the missing numbers on my cover (the one I can't make out above or beside the '27') is probably a '12' (since the back cancel shows December 27). However, it looks like the format is a bit different on this later version of the 'half-circle' cancel. There appears to be one number above and two below. I'm very tempted to assume that the number to the right of the '27' is a '12' and the number above them is a '4'. 1864? It would be within the date range of the stamp. I'll see if I can find another few examples of this cancel from the 1860's.  And, yeah ... nice embossed image. Seven point leaves. Maybe, oak leaves and acorns?  Cheers, |
