For today, I have scanned a cover from my collection sent from China to Germany that appears to be postage due. I would like to know what the red rectangle marking in German means as the first letter is a red blob of ink. Perhaps one of you can figure out this word and what it means in English. I have enlarged the marking in my second scan.

Thanks,
Linus

This is a Nachgebühr(Postage Due) marking. The * b * may be specific to Berlin. It would appear to have attracted a 3 Pfennig charge.

It would be interesting to know what the black Chinese characters actually translate to.

I was wondering that also, Ningpo. Here is a scan of the back. What date do you think this is from the Peiping cancel. May 10, 1919, or October 5, 1919, or something else? 5.10.19 (11)

re: China Cover to Germany

I believe the (international) date format postmarks are in the format DD-MM-YY. It can be somewhat confusing if a local date format was used after 1911. For example, if the Chinese year portion states '60', we would have to add '11' to that to arrive at the western date of '71'.
