Can anyone post a picture of the New South Wales Government watermarked paper that was used for Fiji's stamps 1891 to 1898? SG says that the watermark is in "outline capitals". I have checked NSW in SG and it doesn't look as if it used this paper for their own stamps. I am having trouble seeing the watermark on individual stamps so what I am hoping for is something that will give me an idea what to expect to see.

The stamp designs in question, SG 76 to 103, are shown below.

OK, I've found the answer to this when asking about Sanderson watermarked paper, also used for these Fiji stamps. For anyone who is interested, the image below shows the New South Wales Government sheet watermark.

Very interesting itma, and thank you for the image.

This paper was not used by New South Wales in the production of any of their postage stamps.

If you would like to see the source of this info, look for perf 12's response in the world classics section to my post re Sanderson Paper watermark and the link it contains. It also contains a lot of correspondence between Fiji and the NSW Government Printer.
