  I think you do need an expert opinion. On cursory exam, the cross lines beneath the bear are faint and not as distinct as authentic stamps. There a many good examples of blue and red online to compare with. But a good expert opinion will be worth the trouble. BTW the color is odd also.

  Your stamp appears, to me, to match this forgery, shown on this page:
