- Postage stamp made of paper, rectangular in shape with scalloped edges and approximately 1 1/16 inches (2.6 cm) tall by 7/8 in (2.2 cm) wide in size. An inked rectangle containing an image and inscription is found on one side. The ink is orange in color and the inked rectangle is smaller in size than the paper itself leaving an ink free boarder around the edge. The image contains an orange swastika located just above center with in a white circle and a wreath-like circular band. Below the swastika and wreath image is “Dienstmarke Deutsches Reich” on two lines in white. A white “8” is located in both top corners. On top of the orange and white image is another black ink stamp. This black ink stamp extends past the area of the postage stamp on the bottom and right edges. The visible part of the stamp includes two concentric arcs crossed with a horizontal straight line that extends from the left edge of the outer arc to the right edge of the postage stamp. Above this line and between the two arcs “BAD NAUHE” is stamped. There is also another partial visible letter after the “E”. Below the horizontal line “24635.18” is seen. Adhesive is found on the other side. The image from the other side is faintly seen in reverse on adhesive side.
