The digits are too tall to be an 1871. From Freeman's book:  |

Bobby, I have great respect for your opinion, however the "too tall" argument fails to convince me.  (Damaged) Numerals look appropriate size to me. I do agree not the same Pmk as 1871, the "Oval" shape does not correspond. The oval is "pointy" in FDS's examples. |

I don't believe the numerals are damaged Rod, just very poorly inked.
Even Freeman's example isn't brilliant, but clearly legible enough. |

I must add, the "4" is extraordinary, large body, short leg
A quantum leap from the smudged Pmk of FDS.

Short legged 4s (new terminology right there!) aren't uncommon, among both the ray types and the second barred types. |

 I know it is not a NSW numeral but I couldn't find an example of this three-ringed oval with a thick outside line in J S White. Can I have assistance in identifying this cancel please? |

Had me pondering, so much "in depth" knowledge like this from seasoned collectors, must get lost on the passing of these specialists collectors. Why I am a huge fan of the private "monographs" papers, often produced. For example Mogens Juhl for Western Australia |

Not just a damaged / worn "NSW" in 3 oval rings?  Then I found this...  |
