This is a set of seven stamps with an easily recognisable purple 9.2 Victory Commemoration chop. Kerr and Chan both list two 20f stamps however I suspect that the full set of genuine values is shown above. This is the only set 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. | ||||||
