First paper variety, coarse and wrinkled.

Here I have two copies of a miniature sheet issued on the 22nd June 1936. These were released for a horse race that took place on the 26th July that same year called the 'braune band', or in English; Brown Ribbon. These miniature sheets were issued for the third running of this event, which was named after the colour of the Nazi party uniform at the time. It was held in Munich hence 'Munchen-Riem' is marked onto both examples. They were made on hand-made paper and so a wide variety of textures and types can be found. One of mine has a much coarser and 'wavy' style of paper while the other is pretty uniform. The varieties of this sheet that are recognized by major stamp catalogues are in regards to perforation and the different watermarks. The only uncertainty I have is with the orientation of the swastika watermark on the back of the sheet as I have no means to test for this currently. Obviously both of these examples are perforated and the 'Munchen-Riem' inscription isn't inverted so all other signs would indicate that these are the usual major variety and therefore Michel code DR BL4X.
This is a souvenir sheet from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It features every stamp in the Third Reich Summer Olympics set with each being individually cancelled on the 16th of August 1936. This particular example has several lined creases from being folded in the past but the stamps and cancels are nevertheless in good condition.
The following text at the top of the sheet; 'Sonderbriefmarken der Deutschen Reichspost fur die XI. Olympischen Spiele 1936 in Berlin' directly translates in English to 'Special stamps of the German Reichspost for the 11th Olympic Games 1936 in Berlin.'
