Schlesvig Scott # 1 - 1920 - 2 1/2 pf gray
My AFA catalog, being Danish in origin, numbers it instead starting from the equivalent series in Danish currency, so their number 1 is the 1 Ore, with a "1. Zone" overprint: 
Schlesvig, AFA #1 |

The AFA catalog resets the numbering of stamps from the Açores when they resumed issuing them in 1980, so here is the block featuring the AFA#1 and #2 stamps from then, interesting showing the design of the original first set of issues in 1868:  |

Anglo-American German Occupied Zone, YT #1, 1pf. grey-black, Braunschweig printing, issued in 1945: The AFA catalog does another trick with the Anglo-American Occupation Zone and resets the numbering (actually double-numbers the stamps from this period, also as part of the main Germany sequence), and so a new #1 is the 2 pf. black definitive issue with the overprinted matrix of postal horns, from 1948:  |

I don't have it Awwww, vikingeck & blaamand , THANK YOU sooooo much! Super appreciate the kind words.  And as to the Canadian Beaver, I’m pretty sure I don’t have one either. If I did it would only be a copy in my price range, say one that looked like it actually spent time in a beaver den, plastered into the mud walls. Yeah, I could afford one like that! Haha |
