A maximum card from last year of Danzig as a Free State
Date of postmark : 30.1.39
The illustrations show the Hanseatic Kogge " Peter van Danzig "
Please can someone let me know what is written on upper part of the circle ? A word ending with ... POST ?

Hi March,
There is written ZOPPOT, the name of the city/village. Zoppot is a small sea side resort on the Baltic Sea and was part of the "Freie Reichsstadt Danzig" region. Today it has the Polish name Sopot.
Cheers,
Peter

Excellent ! Thank you very much Peter. :)
As far as I remember years ago there was an international music festival in Sopot.

Hi March,
as Peter said, it reads ZOPPOT. I enlarged it, so you can see it better. Nice Card.
