    Chronoloical here should be the 3 Pfg.-stamp,shown in post #438.
    At the same time,early February 1959 three stamps with the image
    of King Georg V were issued:
    w Hannover 14.jpg
    The lower (brown) 3 Gr. was issued in November 1861.
    In the same year,on March 1st,a 10 Gr. (dark-greenish olive) was put
    on sale. (too expensive for me)

    April 1st,1860 a stamp like the above was issued,imperforated.
    I do not own that,but show the same stamp but rouletted from 1864.

    In November 1863 a 3 Pfg. of the earliar design was issued,now with
    changed colour: dark-olive -green.(what I do not own)

    In 1864, - no exact date is known -,five stamps of previuos issues were
    issued anew,now rouletted,instead of imperforated.
    Except of this two and the 1/2 Gr. shown in the previous post,also the
    red 1 Gr. (King Georg V,post #441) and 3 Pfg. in green (similar to that of post #438 were put on sale.
    They were issued with rose or white gum and different papers.
    All stamps of Hannover remained valid till October 31st,1866,but were
    used by the prussian post office in Hamburg for two more months.

    In the German - German War of 1866,Hannover fought on the side of
    Austria and most other states of southern Germany and lost.
    The kingdom was abolished and became a province of Prussia.
    Stamps of Prussia replaced,those of Hannover,before the stamps
    of the Norddeutscher Postbezirk (North-German Confederation) were
    introduced in 1868.
    Most of the southern states,foremost Baden,Bavaria and Württemberg
    remained independent.
    After the military defeat of Austria and her allies,Bismarck showed,
    what an exceptional great statesman he was.He did not occupy the "South" and did not conquer Vienna,but offered them a honourable
    and "easy" peace.This laid the cornerstone for the close alliance between the German Empire (founded in 1870) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    Addenda to post #112:
    X Ceylon 13,4,6,9.jpg

    recently received: four values of the 1861/63 definitives,
    wmk. "Large Star".
    Not very valuable,but very much to my liking.
    The 1 Penny looks strangely narrow-perforated.I don´t know,wether
    it was produced like that or was later alterated.

    Last week I could double the volume of my Modena "collection"
    (see post # 426) to four stamps:
    V Modena 2.jpg
    Left stamp 10 Cent.(esime)Type II (no dot after the 10),
    issued June 1st,1852.
    Right stamp 80 C.,issued by the provisional government on Oct.15th,1859.
    If you are curios,why the left one is inscribed "Poste Estensi":
    Modena and later the Duchy of Modena was ruled from the 13th
    century by the Este family.
    In 1801 Ferdinand,Archduke of Austria and son in law of Hercules III
    Rinaldo Este inherited the duchy.But as it was occupied by Napoleon at
    the time,he died before Napoleon´s rule ended in 1814.
    His son Franz IV became duke and renamed his family-name to
    Habsburg-Este.Franz IV ruled till his death in 1846,when he was followed
    by his son Franz V.However the Habsburg-Este rule was never secure
    or even popular and could survive with the help of Austrian troops only.
    So when the "Risorgimento" (unification war of Italy) took full swing,
    Franz V fled to Vienna and a provisional government took over,what
    issued a set of 5 stamps in 1859.Those stamps were used till the
    introduction of the stamps of Italy in 1861.Before that stamps of Sardinia
    were used occasionally.On letters in combination with stamps of the
    provisional government these are very precious.
