Thanks fairdinkumstamps!
The stamp is perf. 13 and the cancel was only in use from 1863 to 1864 according to White. I have it on an 1864 cover.
In the flesh it's obvious the stamp isn't a Wmk SG 36 example. |

The cancellation is White B9d. See page 89 of his book. B9e was also in use in 1864 - as seen on this joined strip of 3 Two Pence De La Rue - with very nice marginal lettering watermark!   |

PlusStamps, The watermark is double-lined 2. These double-lined numerals are shown below. The numerals would normally be reversed as seen from the back of the stamps. The second image shows the normal orientation form the back of the stamp, yours being the second last one (i.e. 2).   |

Yes a reasonably early strike of Barraba.
Andrew Farriss is singing country music now? |

Thanks Mate - I looked up what a dandy roll is, so I'm learning - can one tell what the actual watermark is from this info on the dandy roll? |

Bobby or Fairdinkum stamps are the specialists.
I thought I had an image of the wmk sheet,
alas I cannot find it.
They may be able to plate your example.
I am ignorant of the paper used for the diadems, it is a specialist's domain.
They should respond in due course.
Search dandy roll in this forum, if you are interested in the making of later watermarks. |

General Interest British Dandy Roll Images of the "bits" that give the watermark design can be seen (crowns)  NSW "Bits" 1850 that would be brazed onto the dandy roll, or mould screen.  Source: Museum of Applied Arts and sciences. https://collection.maas.museum/object/81439 |

The relevant part of the watermarked paper can be seen on page 3 of this thread. Your stamp shows the letters W and S from NE W SOUTH |
