AMG stamps were issued for use in Germany in 1945-46. The stamps are
denominated in pfennigs and marks.
Three series of stamps were printed, but only two series have plate
numbers.
- The "Washington" printings were done by the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing in Washington, DC, and have plate numbers similar to those of
the U.S. Documentary stamps of the day. Scott 3N1a-3N10a.
Perf 11.
- The "London" printings have plate numbers similar to
contemporaneous British stamps. While they were not printed by the
BEP, I would be happy to illustrate plate number examples if suitable
images are available. Scott 3N1b-3N7b. Perf. 14, 14-1/2 and compounds.
- The "Brunswick" printings were done in Germany and do not have plate
numbers. They do, however, have traditional German "counting
numbers" in both rows and columns. Margin examples of Brunswick
printings are frequently seen erroneously offered as plate number
singles or plate blocks. Scott 3N1-3N20. Perf. 11, 11-1/2
and compounds.
