So is this wove paper? I thought wove paper was just a type of paper made for the stamp. and not the water mark. Confused so wove paper is in grids?

Stever.....

Wove paper can be watermarked with many different designs, just like any other paper. An all dark pattern of diamonds is common.

My mistake, I should have quoted it straight away. I meant a few lines higher: "Vertical lozenges of varnish on face". I suppose that is what you have, as the pattern you have drawn looks just like it and your stamp also exists with this feature.
