Germany · 1948 · 44 Pfennig

This stamp is part of the Posthorn series issued by the British-American Occupied Zone (Bizone) of Germany. It features a stylized posthorn design and is distinguished by a distinctive network overprint applied to prevent counterfeiting.

Following World War II, Germany was divided into occupation zones. The British and American zones merged to form the Bizone in 1947, and these stamps were issued to establish a unified postal system in this crucial post-war period.
