Philatelic Stamps Appraisal

German Philatelic Collection - Adolf Hitler and Military Fieldpost Stamps (1941-1942)

This item is a page from a stamp album featuring several postage stamps, primarily from Germany during the World War II era. The page is made of a cream-colored, heavyweight paper, typical of philatelic album pages, with pre-printed horizontal lines for organization and handwritten annotations. The page contains six distinct stamps, though only four are clearly identifiable as part of the primary grouping. The top row features three stamps, two portraying Adolf Hitler in profile, typical of the 'Hitler Head' definitive series issued by the Deutsches Reich. The leftmost Hitler stamp is purple with a '6' pfennig denomination, while the rightmost is red with a '12' pfennig denomination. The middle stamp in the top row appears to be an 8 pfennig stamp, red in color, with a 'FREISING' postmark and a date '13.3.-70', indicating postal usage. Below this, a single, larger blue stamp is prominently displayed, labeled 'LUFTFELDPOST' (Air Fieldpost) and 'DEUTSCHES REICH', depicting an airplane in flight, likely from 1942 as indicated by the handwritten note. The stamps generally exhibit good condition for their age, with visible perforations intact. The paper page itself shows light handling wear and some discoloration consistent with age. The handwritten notes '1941 Adolf Hitler' and '1942 Military Fieldpost Stamp' with 'Air:- no value indicated' provide contextual information about the stamps and their intended classifications within the collection. The lower section of the image shows partial views of three more stamps, including one marked 'STADT BERLIN'. The album page and its contents represent a curated collection, suggesting prior ownership by a philatelist.
