This is a hard wooden chop, hand-stamped in violet, part of a set of seventeen stamps. The four characters of "Republic of China" above, with a two character surcharge underneath. Kerr mentions a second set with a further 3 values. (Fakes seen on the 39f with an oily black overprint). |

| 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. | ||||||||
