In Michel, 2 types of forgeries are mentioned: 1. Printed by typography on a paper that appears yellowish under UV light. 2. Offset printing on original paper. IMO your stamp is photogravure printed like the genuine one. I have seen the rubber with those horizontal lines on stamps from later series from Ost Sachsen. In the later series (starting with Michel#53), a variety of paper types appear. If you have Michel stamps from the 42-50 series, you can compare their paper with that of your stamp (they might be of the same type) My opinion: genuine
