Germany Meter Stamp Type NC3.1

Germany · 1970 · 20 Pfennig

The meter stamp features 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' at the top, a posthorn emblem on the left, and the denomination '20 PF' on the right. It includes the date '20.10.70' and location 'BONN' at the bottom, with a wavy line cancellation pattern.

Meter stamps were widely used by businesses and government entities in West Germany (Deutsche Bundespost) for efficient bulk mail franking. This example reflects the standard postal practices of the early 1970s.
