Never seen it before, but perhaps others have. With your permission, I could forward the question to philaseiten.de - there may be some who know the answer. If I may venture a guess (it's a long shot), the abbreviation could stand for "Feuer-Societät Dresden", an old fire insurance company. But don't rely on it. It's a pity the postmark isn't clear enough to make out the place. That would be another clue.

Good morning. Yes jmh, you can use my scans as you wish. Your long shot guess sounds like a very good possibility to me, thanks.

I came across this perfin today in my stamp horde and wondered what the letters represented. Does anyone happen to know?
