Germany (Berlin) 1948 Posthorn with Black Overprint 20 Pfennig

Germany (Berlin) · 1948 · 20 Pfennig

This German definitive stamp features a stylized posthorn design with 'DEUTSCHE POST' and '20' denomination. It is distinguished by a prominent black overprint, signifying its specific postal validity for Berlin.

Issued in 1948, this stamp is part of the first definitive series for post-WWII Germany and is historically significant due to its black overprint, which designated its use in the Western sectors of Berlin during the critical period of the Berlin Blockade.
