Nazi Germany 'Deutsche Luftpost' 15 Pfennig Airmail Stamp

This item is a postage stamp from Nazi Germany, specifically designated for airmail, with a denomination of 15 Pfennig. The stamp features a dark blue, possibly violet-blue, ink on a lighter paper background, which appears to be off-white or yellowish-beige. The central design depicts a large, stylized eagle with outstretched wings, soaring over a representation of the globe. The eagle itself is rendered in solid dark blue, contrasting with the lighter lines that form the globe and the radiating sunburst effect behind it. In the upper left corner of the design, prominently displayed within a sun-like disk, is a black swastika emblem, a key symbol of the Nazi regime. The bottom border of the stamp clearly shows the text "Deutsche 15 Luftpost" in a Gothic-style typeface, indicating its origin, value, and purpose. The stamp, being a historical artifact, exhibits visible signs of age and use. The edges are perforated, though some perforations appear slightly irregular or blunted. There is evidence of a postal cancellation mark, partially visible on the lower right area of the stamp, characterized by dark specks or smudges, suggesting it has been used. The overall condition appears consistent with a used stamp of its era, with potential minor creasing or discoloration due to handling and time. Its dimensions are typical for a postage stamp of the period, likely around 2x2.5 cm. This stamp dates from the Nazi era, specifically between 1933 and 1945.
