Does anyone know of a reference I can use to identify a perfin on a Netherlands Indies stamp?

Thanks!

Schwerdt, Robert. 1994.
The World Perfins Catalog. European Section.
Poughkeepsie, NY: The Perfins Club. 70 p.

David,

I have the first edition of the book ikeyPikey mentioned. There are only a couple of dozen perfins from Netherlands Indies. By far the most common is S.M.N. (N.V. Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland).

Let me know if you want me to look up a perfin.

Thank-you for your kind offer. Here is the stamp, front and back:

The perfin appears to be: R.S. / S.Z.

Hi David,

It is from R.S. Stokvis & Zonen, Soerabaja. It is known on some sixteen stamps from NVPH 41 to 100, and used from 1907-1912.
