| This is a complete set of 3 stamps with a 中國郵政 Chinese Post overprint in red. This overprint is repeated on another set of 4 stamps, this time in soft purple. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| 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. | ||||||
