Some of those Germania-stamps show DFUTSCHES REICH instead of DEUTSCHES REICH. |

Free as a bird ! At least the yellow one that was drawn outside the cage ! |

|
 |
 |
Reversed grand piano - the large side has to be at the left side where the bass notes are. |
|
 |
 |
The buckles of ski boots buckle outward on both feet. This means that the skier on this stamp has two left boots |

 |
As one of the ropes is not fixed correctly, this box will soon fall. |
