Kerr and Chan treat this set of 3 chops separately from those below, I am not sure that it is right to do this as they seem too similar. |

This is a soft wooden chop obviously hand applied. The chop appears to be in two parts, a Republic of China four character overprint and a separate four character surcharge. In most cases the two chops are poorly aligned. A 2Y on 1Y is needed to complete the set. |

| 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. | ||||||
