GOLD AND HONORARY AWARDS AT THE ‘MULTILATERAL’ IN HALDENSLEBEN

Those who had applied and were accepted for the “Multilateral 1st Grade Stamp Exhibition at Haldensleben may be allowed to count themselves among the elite of exhibitors. Two BPP members had great success here: Rolf Haspel (Bitterfeld-Wolfen) exhibited in his expertising area “Japanese Prisoner-of-War Camp Mail 1914-1920”. He was in the “Pre-1945 Postal History” class and was awarded 93 out of 100 possible points. In the evening this was accordingly recognised with “Large Gold with special prize”.

With their book “German Inflation 1916-1923. The Germania Issues of the Inflation Period from Michel No. 140, Part 3” Günter Bechtold and Dieter Kamradt came top of the “Literature: print media” class. With 89 points they achieved “Gold with special prize”.
