Thanks perf12.
If it is necessary to consider the color to identify it is already very difficult because I have Michel Color Guide but I do not know the equivalence of color names from German to English.
What I know for sure is the small watermark 10. (Scott 2,5,6 and 10)
I found on "chilecollector" the collection of Mrs. Susan DeBusk which was very helpful but I still have 2 options for identifying: Scott 2a and 10c.
I underlined in red on the print-screen made after the Susan DeBusk collection the information that I think confirms my 2 identifications.
My hypothesis is that the 2 lines (diagonal and vertical) are too symmetrically made to represent a fiscal obliteration (2 carelessly crossed lines and usually with the date) and the lines are made for a later cut in order to use the half stamp as value. of 5 cents.
I took some pictures with the stamp next to the colors in the catalog Michel that seemed the most similar to me.
Any comments / corrections are welcome.
