re: Can you identify this El Salvador stamp?
You can look for hints on the stamp. In the upper right, you can see the date 1896.
However, the blue color of the stamp indicates it is the re-issue of 1897 rather from the original issue of 1896 (12c color would be slate).
You have to determine if the stamp is watermarked.
El Salvador #164(watermark #117) or #170F(unwatermarked)
I cannot tell if you have an original 1897 printing or a subsequent reprint. The reprints are on thicker paper than the originals.
