Well, just looking I'd guess it's a One Shilling revenue stamp.
(Yuck, Yuck. )
You will not find this stamp in postage stamp catalog as it is not a postage stamp. There are revenue catalogs that would provide a value and a catalog number, but I don't have one myself.
The only entry for a 1 shilling KEVII key type 'RECORDS IRELAND' I could find, is Barefoot 1902 No. 8. But it states the colour as Green & Brown. In fact all in that series are .... & Brown.
Unless that apparent staining is the 'brown'.
Anyway it is priced at £5 (2008).
The Perfin Society (UK) ... learn more here!
Perhaps the brown refers to the color of "Records/ Ireland."

Well I thought that too but the overprint looked rather purplish to me. Anyway, Barefoot is inconsistent; it mentions the colour of the overprint on some and not others.
NB Cat is black & white, which helps not a lot.
Ningpo,
I believe you are exactly right;
Barefoot catalog #8
And the brown referred to is the color of the "RECORDS/IRELAND" printing.
Yes, it does look kind of purple in the photo above.
