"Stamps of authority" - dienstsiegel
Posted by Tom Bryant_MR on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 6:05 AM

A friend of mine has some stamps circa 1960-1970. These were the stamps used by the railroads in Germany.

A picture of one is attached.  Wondering if anyone has any history of these stamps.  I do not read or understand German so I cannot translate.  All he knows is that the german word for these stamps is deinstsiegel which the webs translates as stamp of authority.

Regards,

Tom
