The China Stamp Society Specialized Catalogue says that the 8 cent New Peking Martyr of 1941 is a full millimeter wider than the original 1932 version of that design. But there's no mention of a similar difference of width for any other value.
So, are all the New Peking Martyrs wider than the originals?
To follow up the original question, if the other stamp values (non 8 cents) all used the original dies to print the stamps and the colors are the same, what is the best way to distinguish between the Peking Martyr stamps, printed in 1932, and New Peking Martyr stamps, printed in 1941 (excluding the 8 cts stamp)? I recently saw most of the unissued New Peking Martyr stamps offered in an auction. How do I confirm authenticity? The CSS catalog for the New Peking Martyr stamps provides information on 2 types of the 10c, 20c, and 50c but no information on distinguishing the 1c, 30c, and 40c or differences of the 2 types of the 10c, 20c and 50c to the original Peking version. The original question and answers didn't clarify this.
