Above is a complete set of four Mukden Type overprints on a cover dated 10th January 1947, sent from Su Kia Tun to Harbin. A cover of this date is listed in Kerr. Close examination will show that the first (last) character used in the overprint is a different form to that recorded by Kerr. |

| 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. | ||||||
