Hello Mark,

yes you are right - "Hamburg 3" or "Hamburg 11" means a Post-district in Hamburg.

Probably in the early years the changed the numbers of the Post-districts from "3" to "11".

I have documents (Besitz-Zeugnis from 1926) with the district-number "3" and another one

from the year 1933 with the numbre "11".

So maybe the earlier Feldehrenzeichen are with the number "3" !?!?

Best regards,

Jens
