Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s revised country definitives and Commonwealth Games special issue, as well as intriguing new stamps from around the world, and some hugely expensive highlights from the auction rooms.
 

In the December issue of Stamp Magazine, we examine the difficult subject of Nazi propaganda on the stamps of the Third Reich. To what extent did party propaganda infuse the stamp programme? Did it magnify over time? How subtle or blatant was it? Are there subliminal messages in apparently harmless stamps? 

On a completely different note, we take a thematic look at stamps and postal history featuring the Ice Age animal most closely linked to the British Isles. The so-called ‘Irish elk’ was not limited to Ireland, nor was it an elk, but an enormous deer, with the biggest antlers ever known.
