I can answer questions about German stamps. I specialise in German States stamps, timeframe up to 1945. I cannot answer questions about pre - Philately. You can ask questions in English, German or Russian.

Experience
I am a long term collector of German stamps in my area of expertise. I also trade stamps in my free time. My special interest lies in German colony South West Africa stamps and Old States Thurn and Taxis.
