  This is a set of surcharged 5 stamps issued in 1946 to commemorate the Anniversary of the Revolution. 

Chan lists an issue that Kerr associated with Tu Men as belonging to Yen ki. This may well be correct.

   
         
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.
