German Reich Hindenburg Stamp with Postmark

This item is a used postage stamp from the German Reich era, featuring the likeness of Paul von Hindenburg against a predominantly red background. The stamp has a rectangular shape with perforated edges, typical of postage stamps. The central image is a portrait of Hindenburg, rendered in a lighter, possibly white or very light red, contrasting with the darker red background of the stamp. Details of his facial features, including his eyes, nose, and mouth, are discernible despite the postmark overlay. The text 'DER GROSSE' is printed vertically along the right side of the stamp in a dark color, likely black. At the bottom, 'Deutsches Reich' is visible in a Gothic-style font, also in a dark color. The stamp is heavily cancelled with a circular postmark in black ink. The postmark includes numerical and alphabetical characters, specifically '12.' and '27.', 'BGH', and possibly a date such as 'A.-5N'. The postmark partially obscures Hindenburg's face and other elements of the stamp's design. The stamp shows signs of wear consistent with normal postal use, including the cancellation mark and slight fading or discoloration. The perforations appear largely intact, though the precise condition can't be assessed without a clearer view of the edges. The paper upon which the stamp is printed appears to be of standard weight for a postage stamp. The overall condition suggests a typical circulated example from its period. The exact denomination of the stamp is not clearly visible due to the postmark, though a faint '10' can be seen in the upper right corner suggesting its value. The quality of printing seems fine, with clear details on the non-obscured parts.
