- Physical Description
- 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 with image and inscription is found on one side. The ink is blue in color and the inked rectangle is smaller in size than the paper itself leaving an ink free boarder around the edge. The image has a center section and a border section. The border is divided into four rectangular sections, two horizontal and two vertical. The horizontal section at the top of the postage stamp extends the width of the inked image and “Deutsches Reich” is stamped within. The two vertical sections, one on the left and one on the right of the inked image, extend from the base of the top section to the bottom of the inked image. The bottom horizontal section sets between the two vertical sections. Inside the bottom horizontal section is a floral pattern. The center section of the image contains a “15” which is decoratively detailed surrounded by a geometric design. Adhesive is found on the other side. The image from the other side is faintly seen in reverse on adhesive side. On the right hand side of the postage stamp about one third of the way up from the bottom edge of the postage stamp there is a loss.
