Help With A61 Stamp Variation

Hello everyone.

This stamp(seems to be lake to me) has two sides imperforated.
Does this look like authentic state of the stamp to you and is this type metioned in any specialized catalogue.
Thanks.

It is hard to identify colors from a computer scan. Here is a random picture from the internet showing a 220 carmine (left) next to a 219D lake (right). Yours doesn't look dark enough to me to be a 219D lake. Note that the Scott Catalog also lists a dark carmine shade variety that yours could be, since it appears a little darker than the typical carmine 220 but not dark enough for a lake 219D.

The two imperforate margins (straight edges) are completely normal and simply means that your stamp was the upper right stamp from a pane of 100 stamps where the top and right sides were not perforated. These are not listed in the catalogs, except perhaps in the general glossary of a straight-edge or descriptions about how sheets of stamps are printed.

Thanks ZebraMan.
This clarifies my question about imperf sides.
I cannot claim to be able to detect colours correctly. I used this other stamp for comparison and deduced that the one to the right is lake.


My scans are High res.
