I am having trouble finding any stamp like this one. It is on unusual paper and imperforated. Any Help would be great. Thanks

My first instinct is that this stamp is a fake, I don't want it to be, you just never really know.
They did print many different stamps during that time on a thick greyish paper. My problem here is the design. This design (Coat of Arms) was never published in a 20 heller type. They did do a 25 violet and that was in a bright violet color, but not on gray paper.

I'm going to look through all of my things to see if I can come up with something a little more definite.

Thank you Higgins,
Now the next questions since it was cut off the paper does it still have value?

Michel's Ganzsachen-Katalog(postal stationery catalog) lists only one 20 heller item of this indica (cut out/ print design). It is #K53. Rodgcam's pic shows it, but the cardboard color is gray with the print color listed as blue green.

When used, the "Kartenbrief" (letter card) is licked on the three edges with perforations. The recipient tears off the perforated edges and unfolds the card to read the letter. So, the unfolded letter card is twice the size of rodgcam's pic.

Michel does not price postal stationery cutouts, a.k.a. "cut squares".

Yes, it would still have some value, but it would be better if it was left intact

I would say the monetary value is very minimal. Pennies.
