Set of three soft black Mukden Type
overprints FT65 see
Mukden Types. Note; Chan uses that characters 延興 Yan Xing for this town which is not shown on my maps. I can find a 延興鎭 Yan Xing Chen which is North of the position identified by Chan but I am not confident that it is linked to these stamps. Yen Hsing is not listed as having a Post Office in Fisher's Gazetteer and I therefore consider it doubtful. These are the only stamps known for this town. |

| 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. | ||||||||
