Mukden Types.
The name of this village is Chung-an-p'u it may have been difficult
for Kerr to read the postmarks on his copies. Note; The characters shown in Fisher for the postmark from this town is 中安堡 however, Chan uses 騰鰲堡 which ties up with postmark remnants that I have seen and also agrees with the place name on the map. I therefore believe that Chan has the correct usage. These are all the overprints known to exist for this village. |

| 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. | ||||||
