- German Inflation Era ('19 - '23) - Collecting basics
- from the introduction:
Before we even start discussing the actual stamps, there is one subject that we have to get out of the way. EXPERTIZING. Other than a common, mint example, everything in the inflation era has to be "expertized". Don't spend one extra cent on any premium for a color shade or "used" example if it is not expertized! I don't care who the seller is, what his assurances are, how good the deal looks, just don't do it, plain and simple... A list of the experts can be found at the back of the Michel catalog. (A 'Must Read' aj.)

- Welcome to Torsten Hornung`s Homepage - German stamp auctions
- Beverly Stamp Company - Richardson, Texas - [Germany]
- In business 25 years, and about the last 10 years full time. We only attend the Texas Stamp Dealers shows in Dallas. Our business is selling individual country collections. We do not count faulty issues, and mint issues w/o gum are counted at 50% of cv.
In addition to the country collections, we offer individual issues of German colonies, with special attention to used issues and town cancels. All dubious issues are sent to Germany for expertising. This is also true of old German states which we offer as individual issues. Another area of individual issues that we offer are Germany from about 1890 thru the inflation period, and all of the used inflation issues are signed as to the particular variety according to the Germany Specialized Michel catalog. Although we never have enough inventory we also specialize in German Occupation issues of WW II. Here again, all questionable issues are expertised or signed.
We welcome want lists for German colonies, old German states, and the Germania and inflation issues of Germany.
We do not handle nor offer topicals and U.S.

- Germany - Linn's: Berlin (1948-90)
- Stamp-issuing status: inactive; Population: 1.8 million. The capital of Prussia and, after 1871, of Germany. Surrounded by the Soviet Zone of Occupation, Berlin was divided into U.S., British, French and Soviet sectors in 1945. In 1948, political tension brought the creation of the zones of West (Allied) Berlin and East (Soviet) Berlin. The two zones each issued separate series of stamps, the East Zone in 1945 (the "Berlin Bears") and the West Zone from 1945 until 1990. Stamps of West Berlin were discontinued in 1990, with the reunion of the two Germanys, and they became obsolete December 31, 1991.
- Gegoria issues - Linn's: Batum 1919-20 (1994- bogus issues - Georgian?)
- Stamp-issuing status: inactive; Population: 30,000 (1914). A Georgian port on the Black Sea, Batum was annexed by Russia from Turkey in 1878 and became a major Russian naval base. During World War I, Batum was occupied by the Germans and the Turks, and in December 1918 by British forces. The port was evacuated by the British in July 1920. During the British occupation, three series of lithographed stamps (two overprinted "British Occupation"), as well as a number of Russian stamps overprinted and surcharged, were in use. After the British evacuation, stamps of Georgia were used, these being replaced by Russian stamps in 1923. Georgian issues replaced those of the Soviet Union in 1990. Since 1994, a large number of pictorial sets and souvenir sheets, described as local stamps, have appeared on the market. They are bogus, issued for sale to collectors, and have seen no postal use in Batum.
