I'm having trouble cataloging a Nepal stamp that I recently came across.
It's somewhere between Scott's #1 and #29A but my old eyes are failing me on this one. Any help would be appreciated. Note the paper is very thin.

Well, it's not 29A, that uses a different design (look in the corners) and it's not a pin perf example, the margins are too wide. So that helps narrow it down. We typically can guess colors with a scan or photo, without a reference example included, but I'd guess the pale blue of 1898, not one of the ultramarine shades.
