Arrival cancel 27 August 1946, Qiqihar (齊齊哈爾).
The year in the cancelation is missing (sometimes is filled out by hand) for all known covers.
I’m not quite sure about the postal rate in Najitun. Covers existing franked with 2 up to 5 stamps in a time frame from June ~ August 1946 without any logical order. I can say it was not the destination or sending date. Also no tracks of additional postal services on covers with 4 or 5 stamps can be found. Was it the weight of the letter? Any other reason? If anyone has more information please share with me.
Remarks:
– All shown sets exists genuine used on domestic covers.
