  This is a soft purple surcharge applied to the same stamps as the set above. It is unlisted by Kerr or Chan and its status is unknown. I have not seen the original stamps in this instance but I suspect they are genuine.

ALL stamps known for this village are shown above.

 
         
These stamps have been identified by using Volume II of the Stamp Catalogue of China by Shui-Hon Chan and the four booklet guide The Local Overprinted Stamps of Manchuria 1945-7 by Allen D Kerr (published 1978 and now out of print). Both works are essential for anyone delving seriously into this subject.
