Germany 100 Pfennig Posthorn, Detmold Watermark

Germany · 1951 · 100 Pf

This definitive stamp features the classic post horn design, a symbol of postal services in Germany and across Europe. The design is simple and functional, intended for everyday postal use. This particular version is distinguished by the 'DBP' watermark, indicating it was printed for the Deutsche Bundespost.

Issued in 1951 for the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), this stamp was part of the first definitive series after the currency reform. The post horn series replaced Allied occupation issues and symbolized the re-establishment of a sovereign German postal system.
