2463   imageGermany, The Postmark Controversy, group of seven Official cards, all bearing a 10pf or 20pf Semi-Official Airmail and a 5pf Germania, showing evidence of Berlin's reconsidered policy toward cancelling the Semi-Official Airmail (see below); all of the 5pf Germanias are canceled on 14 or 15 June: two postmarked Mainz, one with the Semi-Official Airmail uncanceled (14.6), the other with it pen-canceled (15.6); two canceled Offenbach (15.6), one with Semi-Official Airmail uncanceled, the other with both stamps canceled normally, no doubt after the order had been rescinded; three cards postmarked at Frankfurt (15.6), Mainz (15.6) & Offenbach (14.6) with the Semi-Official Airmails canceled at the same office 16, 18 & 19 June, respectively.
Estimate $400 - 600

On 14 June the Reichspost Ministry in Berlin sent out instructions that the Semi-Officials were no longer to be canceled. The next day, after receiving an official complaint from the Grand Duchess, who pointed out that official permission had been attained prior to the event and that, since a large number of stamps used up to the time of the order had already been canceled, it would make no sense to stop the practice. Accordingly, the order was rescinded on the afternoon of 15 June. The public was told that they could have their previously-uncanceled stamps postmarked at the any of the five official cities, but cancellations were not to be back-dated.
