This features a very hard purple surcharge over the Chang-chun set of overprinted 10f stamps. The complete set is shown above. Kerr lists the second stamp as having a 5Y surcharge, but the surcharge looks like 2Y to me. |

| This is a full set of 4 stamps. Chan lists this set as belonging to Bei Hsing Tsun (Kerr's Peh Hing Chen). My research shows that Chan is probably correct in this. | ||||||

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. |
