This is a full set of 6 surcharges in
soft black. The surcharge on the 4f has been seen inverted. 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. | ||||||||
