Deutsches Reich 1935 Airmail Stamp (10 Reichspfennig)

This item is a postage stamp from the Deutsches Reich, specifically an airmail issue from 1935, identified by the inscription "Deutsche 10 Luftpost" at the bottom, indicating a 10 Reichspfennig denomination for airmail. The stamp features a striking design in red and white. At the top left, a prominent swastika is enclosed within a radiating sun-like motif. Behind a large, spread-winged eagle, a globe is depicted, emphasizing a sense of global reach or dominion. The eagle itself is stylized and appears to be in flight, reinforcing the airmail theme. The background behind the globe and eagle consists of diagonal lines, adding a sense of movement or speed. The stamp has perforated edges, characteristic of postage stamps, and appears to be in used condition, evidenced by prominent black wavy cancellation lines across the face, obliterating parts of the design and text. There are no visible tears or significant creases, but the cancellation mark is heavy. This stamp is a historical artifact from the Nazi era, reflecting the prevailing political iconography of its time. The artistic style is bold and propagandistic, common for stamps issued during this period. The quality of the printing appears consistent with mass-produced philatelic items of the era, displaying clear lines despite the cancellation.
