For the reprints were the same printing plates without any modifications used so the differences originals / reprints are harder to recognize:
a.) Reprints were printed on a different type of slightly yellowish paper, often the print structure is visible from rear side:
Original (bottom), reprint (top)
b.) Reprints have a slighter different color shade:
Original (left), reprint (right)
c.) The reaction under UV light (365nm) is very different:
Original (left), reprint (right)
Original (left), reprint (right)
Original (left), reprint (right)
Remarks (in general / for this issue):

– Specialists can classify varieties of these stamps as narrow or wide (a typical characteristic of the recess printing method by using high pressure on damp paper).
– A set of reprints has a market price about 4.- USD (2018).
