This is a soft blue grey, hard blue or black surcharge on 10f rose stamps already overprinted for Chang Chun. This is the complete set of two in each colour. |

| 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. | ||||||||
