Help Identify Newfoundland Stamp

I'm having trouble deciding if this is number 19ii or number 5. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

According to my 2012 Unitrade catalogue:

Number 5 will measure 22mm x 22.5mm and is printed on thick porus wove paper. The colour is Brown Violet
Number 19i (no ii) is listed as watermarked with a colour of reddish brown. Unitrade also lists a number 19a coloured orange brown and a number 19b which is chocolate brown. None of which are identified as watermarked.

My 2006 Scott Classic Catalogue warns that forgeries exist of all numbers between 1 - 23.

Thanks for the info!

This is a little more complex, and in fact there is an old link on this site which I would recommend you read.

As a Newfoundland only collector, I love this stamp. I'd also recommend relying on Walsh/Butts catalog as a supplement with much more detail than Unitrade.
It is called the Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue...

Thanks tommy

Thanks, Tommy. I've already ordered the catalog!

Very nice stamp even with the cut into the design on the left margin; this one looks genuine to me but I always keep in mind that the forgeries are collectable as well as the real thing. I bid on any of the pence issues if the price is below a certain threshold; if you get them for a decent price, they are worth it regardless if they are real or faked.

Sorry. I tried to delete this.
