屯. According to "The Post-war Provisional Issues of North East China, MLO Volume 1". written by Dr George T. Luzitano, there are three Mukden type sets associated with this own. FT48, FT49 above and FT50 each set contains four stamps of the same values as those shown. |

Kerr lists this set as shown with six stamps surcharged in
soft black.
The overprint reads
中華
China, 暫作
Temporary Use and a 1 Yuan surcharge.
Chan lists a set of nine stamps including a 1Y on 6f,1Y on 8f and 1Y on 9f. These values seem to have taken a long time to appear so they may or may not be genuine. |

| 1Y on 2f | 1Y on 5f | 1Y on 20f | ||||
| Kerr list all three of these values as Vermillion but as you can see the central stamp is red. The question is, is this normal or is the 5f stamp shown part of a completely new set? Please let me know. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||
