It's a cinderella from Dresden (the D is a giveaway), but I have no idea what for!
Thanks Dave.
I'm guessing it's a horse thing, but I've been searching on the web all day, using different words/phrases with no success.
Dave.
The D is for "Sportvereinigung Dynamo"
Have a look here.

Thanks for that superb link Opa!
Here it is, 1973

Awesome, thanks Opa & Dave.
So the stylized "D" is the same as used by Dynamo Dresden FC.
Particularly well-timed as the World Cup starts tomorrow, I'm betting on Germany to repeat as champions in my pool (I came in 2nd of 240+ participants last time), and Canada (along with temporary NAFTA partners US & Mexico) was announced today as the 2026 host(s).
Now, if I can only get my hands on that soccer stamp, it would be the ultimate!
Thanks, Dave.
It need not be Dynamo Dresden, it could also have been BFC Dynamo or any other of the Dynamo sports clubs. Sportvereinigung Dynamo was the national sports association of the police, customs, and state security services.
