I can't find this stamp listed. I can find the regualar stamps and the note about type 2 imperforates, but no reference to this color scheme. Can anyone help, or is it just a postally used forgery?

It looks too good to be a forgery.
What is the actual colour of the paper and print?

Also check this thread as it could be a colony issue or cut square - https://www.stampcommunity.org/topi...D=5076#40239

Anthony, if it is real then I am leaning on a cut square. The stamp appears to be black with a black numeral? The paper is thin and almost tan. The postmark is too faint to read anything but obvious. Thanks for the help, Jeff

Checked the thread, appears to be the identical stamp. Thanks Anthony - Jeff

Yes, this is not a colonial one but a postal stationary mutilated :)
