This is a hard purple surcharge on the
standard Chang Chun overprinted 10f stamps. It can be found in two
settings narrow 13mm width and wide 14mm width (the narrow being the
rare version). The characters read 10 Chiao (50f) temporarily
revalued. All of the stamps known for this town 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. | ||||||||
