This is a set of eight values
starting with a half fen (and not a one fen as shown by error in
Kerr). The one fen does not exist other than in forgery form. This
bold black overprint reads China, Temporary
Use. Both of the overprints known for this village 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. | ||||||
