Your stamp is almost certainly a trimmed-down (perforated) Type V, Scott #35. Even with the tight margins, some of the required design elements for Types I-IV should be visible. The issues with the impression may be related to the apparent cleaning/lightening of the pen cancel.
I agree with Sinclair. I dug up an old image I made years ago of a trimmed #35 that someone tried to pass off as an imperforate on ebay. It's pretty small, but I hope it clarifies:
