There were no special handstamps for these particular South American flights, but the general forwarding endorsement handstampg “Deutsche Luftpost Europa - Sidamerjka” were used instead, but of these only those with the distinguishing letters:a,b and c are found. Each South American flight, apart from the flight to Argentina and the Christmas flight, is thus only distinguished by its date. The lack of special handstamps reduced the interest of collectors in these flights, and so non-philateljc mail predominated. Covers from these flights are however comparatively scarce.
