This doesn't look like a perf 13 to me. The spacing of the holes looks too wide for a 13. Have you accurately measured with a perf gauge?
This looks like #709, perf 9.5 x 10.5
Remember that Scott rounds perf measurements to the nearest 0.5.

Well I arrived at that number by comparing another stamp from Spain that was of a later date. I couldn't locate my gauge at the time. That stamp was listed with those numbers.
Hi perf11,
Michel lists four stamps like this (plus a rare imperf):
#856A - 10 PTS - perf 9¾ x 10¼ - 9.00
#856B - 10 PTS - perf 10 (line perf) - 45.00
#857A - 10 PTAS - perf 9¾ x 10¼ - 1.00
#857B - 10 PTAS - perf 13 x 13½ - 1.20
The prices are in marks for used stamps from my old 1998/99 catalogue.
Much appreciated. I'm gonna run out and pick up a new gauge.
Well I double checked for the heck of it. And it was a little off. I can see that the side is most likely 13.5 but the top is definitely 13 or 13+. So I'm definitely headed to get new gauge. Thanks gentleman.
Roy. Count those perfs. 15 I counted. No way 9.75. Lol.18 down.
Think I'm gonna chuck my Scotts as well. At least for foreign stamps.
Here Roy. I think this is what you were looking for. Do you have any stamps you want to sell ?
Just kidding buddy. All in jest all in jest. Most likely you were in a hurry. Hope you had a good 4th. Take care.
"Count those perfs. 15 I counted. No way 9.75. Lol.18 down"
These are perfs. 13 and 9 1/2 side by side, quite a difference, there's also a perf. 10
with imprint.
"2) Scott and Gibbons differ in the order in which they present measurements. Scott reports horizontal x vertical whereas SG reports vert x horiz. If using a catalog, be sure to check which direction it uses."
Unless I'm very much mistaken (I'll eat humble pie of course), the rest of the world's catalogues measures correctly, Scott does not.
Can someone tell me if this is listed in a catalogue ? Edifil or Micheal or SG ?
It has a very unusual perf count. 13.75 x 13. Scott #705a I believe. #705 is 12.75 x 13.25 and this is suppose to be 9.75 x 10.25.
#705a is just a guess.
The only difference in 705 and this is the value field. 705 says 10 PTS.
Thank you.
