1. Which 95b? A 95b is also listed with the same watermark under the later 1891-93 issues. It is noted as an 1892 issue and is priced. That has perfs measuring 11-1/2 x 11. Scott is badly mixed up. 1a. Michel lists the first issue as perf 11-3/4. An old Kottelat catalog agrees and also says there should be 14 vertical perf teeth, though 14 vertical perf teeth is also given for the perf 11-1/2 x 12 stamps. 2. Collectors normally perf all sides of a stamp. You will find the sides are not perf 11-3/4. Please check this. 3. The top of the stamp does not measure perf 11-3/4. It also looks reperfed at first glance.
Most experts and advance collectors only collect to ZUMSTEIN . Here is a page I added to my collection and noted Scott numbers to Zumstein .As HY-BRASIL stated Scott's is seriously lacking
Thank you everyone for your reply. I am so grateful for this forum. There is nothing like it, with such an active user base. I guess this is not a 95b, but I will keep it labeled as such, so I can come back and take a closer look. Thanks alot.
