Hello Bag seal experts...
These bag seals are driving me crasy !!! Till now I´ve found more than 10, and on one side it always has the weapon with a cross, and a various number of small dots. The other side has letters / initials and a number, always with a K after it?
They are found here in Denmark, and nobody neither in DK nor in Germany seems to know what they are, and where they come from !!
I got the idea that they might be British ??? Can you help me, any idea is welcome ??
The K could stand for Kopecks - 100 kopecks to a rouble. The number shown on Russian bale seals, usually 12K or 15K, is the rate per rouble value of the goods that has been paid in tax (the original % VAT !):- see The Searcher October 2000, Russian Bale Seals by Nick Du Quesne Bird. P.23 & 24 |
