German Third Reich stamp year 1938 Party Rally MNH
The details for this stamp often get conflated in catalogs because the Party Rally itself was planned but ultimately canceled due to the Sudeten Crisis and the escalating political situation in 1938. The stamp, however, was issued.
Here are the correct details for the 1938 Party Rally stamp:

ℹ️ Important Note on Michel/Scott Numbers:
The Michel and Scott catalog numbers you provided, Mi. 672, Sc B120, both refer to this specific 12 Pf stamp for the Nuremberg Rally.
- You may sometimes see the Scott number B120 associated with the $6+4 \text{ Pf}$ Gautheater stamp (Mi. 673) because Scott’s catalog structure can sometimes vary the B-numbering based on the year’s semi-postal order. However, the most widely accepted (and correct) association for the 12 Pf Nuremberg Rally stamp is Mi. 672 / Sc. B120.
