This is a very soft black six character overprint reading Chinese Post North East. Fakes have been seen of this overprint on the 1944 10f Friendship with Japan Issue (including inverted examples) These are the only stamps known for this village. |

| 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. | ||||||||
