 ''Chinese stamps with overprints or surcharges led by the character 

These are mostly provincial issues for the Republic of China. You may need only the first 2-3 characters after but we provide the entire inscription. Remember, that examples shown may or may not be exactly what you have. The important thing is to interpret the inscription/read the characters to determine the place of origin.
