 ''Chinese stamps with overprints or surcharges

All names are read from right to left here. If there is more than one column, the rightmost column is read first.

Remember, the idea is to match up the relevant characters in the overprint or surcharge, not try to match what you have exactly. Only examples are shown, not every possible stamp in every version. Perhaps someday...

Links are given for the Stamp Encyclopedia.
