Attention: Gerhard ~ your cancel.

G'day Gerhard,

finally found what I was looking for
I think your cancel on the German Kreuzer
is a Scottish cancel referred to as a "Brunswick Star"
Circa 1860

I'll organise a scan asap.

I'll leave you to chaeck further.

Very best regards,
Rodney

Hello Sir Rodney,

did I ever mention that I love You? :-)

That is the best hint I got until today, thank You a lot.

Thank You too Blair, could You send me a scan of Your stamp with the
same cancel? Thank You!

Until later, my office calls me now.

in a very good temper

:0)

Sorry Gerhard, but the bloke that lives in the mirror
loves me more
(In fact he reckons I'd make a good cancel myself, being
so self centred)

The "Brunswick Star" is quite ubiquitous, it lives on the
"London Bobby's" police helmet, and I remember when I was a kid,
my mum used to make jelly and blancmange using a
Brunswick star type mold.

Do let us know if/when you crack it.

All of the Brunswick Stars I've seen have 8 points. Gerhard's
example appears to have 7.

You are right Jay, mine has only seven, but I hope for some varities.

When Blair wrote, that he has also one stamp (same period) with this
cancellation, so it is probable a not so rare destination where they
canceled the stamp. I am sure, that it is not a German postal used postmark.

I shall send a email with my question to the edinphil.freeuk.com. May be
they can help me.

Thank You all for Your opinions and Your help.

Gerhard

Indeed,
personally, the configuration of 7 points, suggests
a typical "badge of office" or rank derivitive.
Hence my opinion it is an "official" style of cancel.
The eight point star is more allegorical as seen on
this Uruguayan issue.

Just a FYI,
here is a 7 point star "badge" all Aussies/NZ'ers would be familiar with,
the rising sun, quite fitting really, as NZ (Pitt Island) was the first to
see the rays of the sun on the morning of the new millenium.
