Hi Wert. This stamp is # 148 in the Zumstein catalog, so you are most likely correct. The Zumstein lists two stamps, and so does Scott. Yours looks like it is 148II or Scott 195. The other one has some subtle differences on the crossbow and has a catalog value of Chf 5.000,00. Its number is 148III, or Scott 195c.
