Does this one seems to be a forgery or could be also an original? If it is genuine, which Scott number it could be?

Thanks!

I have a few of these, and even though I have not spent much time studying them, this one looks really suspicious (quite different from mine) . If it were mine, I would treat it as a forgery until you could get it authenticated.

Here are 2 that I know are legitimate that you can use for comparison. The bad thing is I don't know what year, catalog number or Watermark are as I've never checked...but I know they are real.
