Identifying Chinese Stamps

Having come up dry with both my Scott Catalogue and Google Image, I greatly would appreciate any assistance you might offer in identifying the three Chinese overprinted stamps shown below.

Can't speak to the overprints, but the stamps are from the 1943 Sun Yat-sen issue, or perhaps the 1948. Places to start, at least.

Thanks. I have been told the second one is a military stamp, Scott #M7.

Johnconn, you might also try www.stampworld.com and look under Northern Provinces of China

first stamp: The central column reads "People's Republic" followed by a character I can't make out. It doesn't read "People's Republic Post" (in 4 characters) so I'm thinking this is not a postage stamp. EDIT: Bad thinking; it is a postage stamp. See below. The bottom inscription is "Kiangsi/Jiangxi", so this would probably make this listed under Central China if a reference can be found. The surcharge is 1$/1 yuan with a broken top to the yuan character, an interesting variety.

second stamp: The two characters read "military post", done in different styles/fonts for the Republic of China. So confirming this is Scott M7.

third stamp: The inscription reads "postal savings". So this, from the Republic of China, is another one that won't be in Scott.

Extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to identify each.

With China identification, always helpful, if you indicate "type"
In this case "Type A62"

So First stamp is Central China

Second and third stamp, I had not seen before, so great to have those identified !

Pre-1949 Chinese stamps are a rabbit hole, much like those from the Russian Civil War era. Enjoyable sleuthing, but they can take you to task, that's for sure.

Well done, rod!

And it took a while for the light to go on, but the center column just reads "renminbi", the currency of the People's Republic.

first one from right to left, read downwards:
change to
RMB (ren ming bi)
one yuan
This was done after the new RMB was issued (with a ratio of one new equal to 100 old RMB) in 1953.
second one was stamped as millinery mail.
the third one was not a post stamp, but a saving stamp. People with little money can by those low denomination stamps as a way of saving, then exchange to real bank savings when a certain amount of them were accumulated. the one you have was issued between 1942 and 1945.

Thank you
