Germany WWI-WWII and Colonies

I've just returned from Germany with a top-shelf group of new items. I have: a nice group of single-franked high-value German Colonies covers (large Yachts, 5 Reichsmark, etc), a nice gathering of better propaganda cards (as well as a good group of less-expensive ones), a bunch of WWII feldpost, some interesting WWI patriotics, one pioneer Zeppelin on flown RPPC, some Sudetenland stamp lots, 100+ Sudetenland provisional covers from small towns, some interesting (and rather depressing) Judaica, etc. A real nice sale, if I do say so myself.

Germany WWI-WWII

For our March sale I have a large group of interesting covers, including many Sudetenland liberation items from the best collection of these I've ever seen; many small towns and some real commercial usages. I also have new propaganda items, some WWI patriotics, a nice group of pre-1945 advertising meters with many topics (animals, cameras, tobacco, etc), a bunch of Gebuehr Bezahlt / Fee Paid covers from just after the end of WWII, 1920s-30s Deutsche Seepost, etc.

The WWII Feldpost items are particularly nice this time around, with some rare units like the Brandenburgers -- the Abwehr-formed commando unit formed of mostly foreign-speaking and/or foreign-born soldiers which infiltrated enemy lines and units to wreak all sorts of havoc. There are some SS items and several volunteer units, including a Czech volunteer express feldpost (quite an unusual combination). There are many Kriegsmarine units, unsual censors, provisional cancels, Luftwaffe fighters groups, etc.

Everything German 1900-1950

For our February sale I have a 150 fresh WWII Propaganda postcards out of a collection just arrived from Hamburg, as well as a mixture of German Colonies, quite a few post-WWII Allied and Russian Zone covers, Austrian Empire (WWI-era) with some Republic, German Inflation, ca 80 Sudetenland 1938-9 Provisional + Wir Sind Frei postal history from small towns, and lots and lots of WWII Feldpost.

A little bit of Everything German

This is our first sale of the year, and it's a pretty big one with over 800 new covers. I'm still getting boxes in from last year (another 40 kilos arrived in the last two days!), and the items are from all areas. I have more Danzig, some nice se-tenants, a lot of Zeppelin postcards, a great selection of WWI airplane Real Photo PPCs as well as WWI Uboot feldpost. There are a bunch of WWII airplane RPPC's too (bought an Aviation collection of 500pcs), a large number of WWII Feldpost (SS and Marine), some better post-war French Zones, a number of Inflation items, a couple Rohrpost, quite a bit of WWII Propaganda, etc. Really, covers of all areas from stampless to the late 1940s are present.

Danzig, Saar, Sudetenland, Memel and WWII

This is our last sale of the year and the first fixed price sale on GermanPostalHistory.com since August. I've returned from one of the most prolific buying sprees I've had in a long time -- an embarassment of riches, so to speak. I have a large new selection of Danzig and Saar, as well as other German plebescites and areas; there are a couple hundred new WWII Feldpost covers from SS to ships, and a whole lot of Sudetenland (much more to come), with many propaganda cards. There are also better Italian stamps, post-WWII locals/provisionals/Sachsiche Schwarzungen, and even several Bavarian proofs. All in all, over 800 fresh items (many off of the market for decades) itching to find new owners.

Germany Propaganda, Se-Tenants, WWII Occupations

I've just put my girls back into school and am starting off the new stamp cycle just a tad early, before half my patrons (all you Europeans) return from vacation and the auction circuit starts anew. Since the last sale I was fortunate enough to purchase a decent WWII Propaganda collection, along with a bunch more Zusammendruck / Se-Tenants, of which I only put up the better pieces. There are also some German occupations, including a nearly complete collection of Serbia and a large group of Ukraine Dienstpost, with many small cities that are seldom seen -- almost all registered with backstamps. There's also a little WWI, some feldpost, etc. All in all, a good beginning to the 2012-13 fall/winter season, I hope.
