This is SG 166, 1d Venetian red, issued on 1 January 1880. There are shades, but SG doesn't separately identify them. The SG QV Specialised lists a couple of varieties, viz.: S joined to frame above, damage above this and spot after T; and line below G broken. Also listed with watermark inverted.
Thanks, My eyes are shot today after going through several Vario pages. I had not even been aware of plating until I got into later issues. I assume there is some story about the control numbers in the corners.
