|
A full set of 20 surcharges in soft black. The 5Y on 30f shown is blue/grey. The four top characters read 中國郵政 Chinese Post, left is the surcharge and to the right 暫作 Temporary Use. Kerr does not recognise the blue/grey chop but it is mentioned in Chan. Kerr and Chan both list a further 5 stamps with an overprint of similar design, Kerr states these comes from a Russian collection (it is possible they are not authentic). Fakes have been seen in bright violet. |

| 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. | ||||||
