Commemorative Surcharges. Set of 2.
Double 10 (雙十節)
Commemoratives celebrate the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising of
10th October 1911. This uprising led to the overthrow of the Qing
dynasty and the formation of the Republic of China. All of the different overprint types 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. | ||||||
