The German Empire post offices in Morocco (English) otherwise known as Marokko (German), Maroc (French), Marruecos (Spanish), or Marocco (Italian) were maintained for additional reliability and to support German commercial interests there. The empire maintained these post offices from 1899 until 1914 in the French controlled areas and until 1919 in the Spanish Controlled areas.
There are two versions of the overprint.
Overprint #1: Between 1906 and 1911, the 1905 Germania overprinted “Moroccoâ€.
Your stamp - Overprint #2: Between 1911 and 1913, the 1905 Germania overprinted "Marokko" (German)
Both have a perforation of 14 x 14½
