Re: Lead bag and cloth seals

Thanks Dave - it's a Prussian customs seal - see bottom of this page - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=31&g2_page=71 Thanks Tom - you don't think it could be a lion or some other quadruped beneath the WF ? Just had a closer look and it is definitely a lion facing left...........

Hi Stu
This is the earlier seal with the rivet lobe opened up. Just the letters WF and some scroll work as far as I can see............. :g50:
