This scarce 1 cent orange block from the 1945 Martyr of the Revolution issue bears the overprint of the Japanese-controlled Meng Chiang (Mengkiang) puppet regime. Issued during the final phase of World War II, this provisional stamp reflects both the fragmentation of occupied China and the symbolic use of revolutionary iconography in legitimizing collaborationist states. The base stamp depicts a martyr from the Xinhai Revolution, an emblem of Republican sacrifice, while the overprint signifies political appropriation under Meng Chiang governance. Printed using gravure technique on coarse unwatermarked paper, the stamps have no gum, following Japanese occupational printing norms. The block features four sharply printed, well-centered stamps and a right selvage bearing vertical inscription 王林, which likely refers to the local printing administrator or approval mark. Officially released in June 1945, the issue is catalogued as Michel JP-MG 98, Scott CN-IM 2N107, Stanley Gibbons JP-MG 117, and China Stamp Society CN-IM MK206. This issue is an important historical artifact that captures the intersection of nationalism, propaganda, and war-era philately. Condition Mint never hinged with no gum as issued, clean perforations, and excellent color saturation. Estimate "$100 – 125".
