Full set of five stamps with a soft

中華民國
Chinese Republic overprint with the surcharge below.
According to Kerr the booklet stamps have only been seen on covers. All of the overprints known for this town 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. |
