Germany 1928-1932 President Paul von Hindenburg 3 Pfennig Postage Stamp
This is a 3 Pfennig definitive postage stamp from the Weimar Republic era of Germany, featuring the portrait of President Paul von Hindenburg in profile facing left. The stamp is printed in a chestnut or reddish-brown ink on paper, measuring approximately 21mm by 25mm. The design includes the numeral '3' in both upper corners and the inscription 'Deutsches Reich' in Fraktur script across the bottom. The stamp is perforated on all four sides. A significant feature is the partial circular date stamp (CDS) cancellation in black ink, which clearly displays 'BERLIN-CH[ARLOTTENBURG]' and the partial date '21.7.32', indicating it was postally used just before the end of the Weimar period. The condition appears fair for a used stamp; the perforations seem mostly intact, though there is slight rounding on the corners and some minor paper toning or foxing visible in the margins. The centering of the design within the perforations is slightly shifted toward the top right. This issue was part of the common 'Hindenburg Medallion' series designed by Karl Goetz, produced between 1928 and 1932, and represented standard postal rates of the time. The craftsmanship reflects the transition into early 20th-century mass-production philately with a focus on clear, authoritative portraiture.
