| Kerr places this town south of Nunkiang in Heilungkiang. I can't locate a town by that name with the maps I have although I can find a town shown as Yung Nan Chen in a similar location. A post office with this name is not found in Fisher. The location may be fictional and the overprint concocted by a dealer (not a unusual practice). | ||||||||

| This version of the overprint in red is unlisted by Kerr or Chan. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||
