| This is a 4 character soft black overprint reading 暫用 Temporary Use, 北東 North East. Kerr was unaware of the 50f stamp and only lists the 1Y, his sketch is also inaccurate. Chan lists the overprinted 1Y but the 10f stamps are so far unlisted.. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||
