I am unsure as to the identity of this 4 skilling: is it Scott 19 lilac, Scott 19a violet, or 19b brown violet. The paper looks slightly darker to me although not the bluish color of Scott 19b-but this may just be soiling.

Asking to ID color over the www is a bit iffy. I tried comparing with other Norway stamps but in the earlies could not find a violet or a lilac.
Hope somebody can help

I should have added that the paper is thick although that does not seem to help identification. Scott mentions thick paper but gives no indication as to whether thick is scarcer than thin.
