Luxembourg Officials

In Scott numbers O39 through O51 are the 1881 issues overprinted S. P.. In Michel each are also said to have 'schmaler type' (narrow type) and 'breiter type' (wide type). They don't mention how to tell if an example is narrow or wide though. The larger type italics 5F (Scott O64, Michel 46I) is different and described in both catalogs. It looks like, perhaps, the 1882 issues on Industry and Commerce is only in the wide type, so I may be able to use that to help differentiate. Has anyone got more insight into these? I'm laying out my pages for them now and would like to verify which are actually available and maybe come up with an image for the two types...

BILL --- I was waiting for someone else to give you a clear answer .

Let me show you what Stanley Gibbons has and see if I can answer from this scan below ,it looks like the 1881 issue has two different overprints ,which are in the scan below ......hope this may answer your question ?

Thanks Paul, my SG is somewhere less than handy. Y&T says basically the same thing as Michel, showing most of the issues available in both overprint types.Scott just has a footnote saying they were never issued, yet Michel and Y&T both give prices for used examples in both overprint sizes. I don't know of any catalog that is more specialized than Michel for Luxembourg and was kind of hoping someone would step in with better info too.
