Saar Protectorate 10 Pfennig Wavy Lines Watermark

Saar Protectorate · 1947 · 10 Pfennig

This 10 Pfennig stamp from the Saar Protectorate features a simple numeral design. Its distinctive characteristic is the 'Wellenlinien' (wavy lines) watermark, a security feature used during the post-war administration.

Issued shortly after World War II, this stamp reflects the unique political status of the Saar Protectorate, a territory under French administration before its eventual reintegration into West Germany.
