A set of ten surcharges in dark violet

Temporary Use. Chan splits this into 3 sets, a set of 7 in black, 4 in violet and 5 in red His dark violets don't coincide with mine (see above) so the full set was probably hand-stamped in both colours. I can't comment on the red set as I have yet to come across it. These represent all of the known stamps for this village as listed by Kerr - see 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. |
