Hi everyone, I just got my new addition to my stamps collection. I can't help myself of wondering if this the so called elusive single line "2" watermark of a 2d Tasmania 1851 stamp? I apologized if the photo that I provide here is not that clear enough. Can anyone here enlighten me & any feedbacks are also welcome & highly appreciated. Thanking in advance for the help & feedbacks
Davbrian, That is the usual watermark for the 1870-71 issues of the Two Pence. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue lists two perforations - Perf 12 and Perf 11.5. The catalogue also states that those stamps were printed on paper from New South Wales.

Thanks @fairdinkumstamps for the info. Now for that clarification, I m happy that I got that stamp because I also the normal one (the same stamp) with the normal watermark.
