German Reich 1922 Airmail 'Wooden Dove' 20 Mark

German Reich · 1922 · 20 Mark

This stamp features a stylized wooden dove in flight, carrying a letter in its beak, symbolizing early airmail service. The design is simple yet iconic, set against a plain background with the denomination prominently displayed.

Issued during the Weimar Republic's hyperinflation period, this stamp was part of Germany's efforts to establish and promote airmail services in the post-World War I era. Its high denomination reflects the rapidly devaluing currency of the time.
