Germany Hindenburg Block with Fake Overprint
Germany · 1933 · 3, 5, 6, 12 Pfennig
This block of four German definitive stamps from 1933 features a profile portrait of Paul von Hindenburg. The block, identified as Michel Block 2 (stamps 508-511), bears a fake cancellation or overprint.
Issued during the tumultuous period of the Weimar Republic and early Nazi Germany, these stamps depict Paul von Hindenburg, a significant political figure. The presence of a fake cancellation highlights the philatelic interest in forgeries and altered stamps from this era.
