China Manchukuo - 1932 Rare Transitional Cover to Paris

This is a cover from a bookstore in Harbin sent to a library in Paris, France. The cover is showing three "Junk" series stamps with the "Ki-Hie" overprint to a value of 25c, this was the correct postage for a letter from Manchukuo to Paris in 1932. The stamps are postmarked with a Harbin (Pinkiang) date-stamp and over this is applied an arrival postmark for PARIS VIII, this is dated 13th June 1932. It is not possible to read the date of the Harbin postmark but normal transit times suggest that the letter would have entered the postal system no earlier than 10th April 1932., making this a rare transitional cover.
