Germany Provisional Meter Stamp Types HB1A-1C
Germany · 1945 · 12 Pfg
These are three types of provisional meter stamps from Germany, featuring 'DEUTSCHES REICH' at the top, '12 Pfg' denomination, and the year '1945' at the bottom, each with a distinct frame design.
Issued in 1945, these provisional meter stamps reflect the chaotic post-World War II period in Germany, where existing franking machines were adapted for postal use amidst the collapse of the central government and the establishment of occupation zones.
