Bagseals.org - for all lovers of Sigillography and Sphragistics !

This is the main page of the bagseals.org Gallery. Formerly part of Ourpasthistory.com
Its purpose is to help with the identification of lead cloth and bag seals. Please feel free to make use of the information gathered here. As Benjamin Franklin said: “if you light your taper from mine, mine is not diminished”. A thank you in the form of an acknowledgement would be good!
