The "Braunes Band" (brown ribbon) was a horse race (flat race gallop for horses older than 3 years) in Munich Riem (Riem is a district of Munich in the east), which took place from 1934 till 1944. There was no relation with Hitlers Birthday, of course it was started to bring german horse breeding to international reputation.
I suppose there were enough blocks left over from 1936 to reuse them in 1937 with a red overprint. That would definitely make economic sense.
Thank you,
1937 "Braunes Band", do not issue stamps, with a red overprint. In Philately, is official gaining official?
Is it?
Hello xiaolin,
I am afraid your last question is not very clear to me. But anyway the 1937 issue with the red overprint is official.
Kind regards
