Chan also lists the 10f in violet, this is not listed by Kerr. The surcharge itself is missing from the key in book four of Kerr, making it hard to identify. Examples of all overprints are shown above. |

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. | ||||||||
