1901 German China 2M (Mi.25) Signed Richter BPP TSCHIFU CDS dated 27.3.05.


Title: 1901 German Offices in China 2 Mark Germania Authentic "Tschifu" Cancel Signed Richter

Item Specifics:

  • Country/Region: German Post Offices in China (Deutsches Reich)
  • Issue Year: 1901 (Reichspost Series)
  • Catalogue Number: Michel No. 25 (likely)
  • Condition: Used (Cancelled)
  • Expertisation: Signed by Hermann Richter (Hand-stamped on reverse)
  • Signature Position: Bottom right edge (Signifying high quality/faultless condition) 

Detailed Description:

Offered here is a highly collectible and authenticated example of the 1901 2 Mark "Germania" stamp with the horizontal "China" overprint, issued for use in the German postal agencies during the late Qing Dynasty period.

Key Features & Historical Significance:

  • Rare Treaty Port Cancellation: This stamp features a clear, authentic single-circle postmark from TSCHIFU (modern-day Yantai), dated 27.3.05. Single-circle strikes from this period are highly sought after by collectors of German colonial postal history.
  • Expert Guarantee: The reverse side bears the authenticating signature of Hermann Richter, a renowned philatelic expert. The signature is placed at a slight angle in the bottom right corner, which traditionally indicates the stamp was found to be in "Very Fine/Splendid" (Pracht) condition, free of hidden faults such as thins, tears, or repairs.
  • Postal Validity: The 1905 date is a late and interesting usage of this "Mark" denomination, just months before Germany transitioned to surcharged currency issues (Cents/Dollars) for the China offices.

Condition Report:

  • Perforations: Intact and complete.
  • Overprint: Sharp, horizontal black overprint.
  • Cancellation: Single circle, legible "TSCHIFU" strike.
  • Reverse: Original paper with clear "Richter" expert marking.

This is a premium item for specialists in German Colonies or Asian Postal Historywho demand verified authenticity for high-value overprints.
