What do you mean by "Nestor"?
Measure the stamp design only width accurately in millimeters,
then we can give you the perforation.

Nestor
The Kea (Nestor notabilis) and the Kaka (Nestor meridionalis) are the 2 parrots on the stamp. |

It has been 20 years since I worked on New Zealand , if I remember correctly [likely wrong] They were experimenting with paper made of grass which means the paper is harder to perforate because it is softer than wood fibers . |

An old "kiwi" stamp trading partner told me many years ago that a major problem with N.Z. perforations is that the equipment used was "retired" from Australia. |

Stamp design measure in mm as requested. Thanks. Thank you. 200 divided by 18 = Your stamp is perf 11.1 Ergo, I make your stamp SG#268 b (Dull Brown Red)
Thick soft, "Pirie Paper"
No Watermark
Perf 11
CV £48 / £6 (1993 catalogue)Oops, I see you have Wmk SG#43 perhaps. That would suggest SG#315 November 1902 Brown-Red Thin hard "Cowan Paper" Wmk 43 sideways. Same value Best I can do Of course, check the details yourself. |

For the record:
"Cowan paper" is chalk surfaced, white and opaque.
The watermark is usually smaller than the "jones" paper, and is often barely visible.
1907 Redrawn Pictorials : The Kea and the Kaka
(Artistic licence is evident on this stamp, as the two birds would not be seen together, the Kea is found only in the high country, whilst the Kaka is a forest dweller)
The 1907 stamp is reduced in size, originally printed as 120 stamps to the forme, the stamp was reduced in size, as to be printed 240 stamps at once.
