Cloth Seal, Bohemia, Opava
Cloth Seal, Czech, Opava, Image & Found by Vojtas83.
Found near Olomouc/Olmütz,Czech Republic, 28mm.
3 circles each with demi-eagle displayed to right and 9/4 to left, PIT to left, secondary WP stamp to left // missing but small section of the arms of Opava on rivet stub
Assigned to Opava solely based on the small section of the arms.
In the Low Countries, seals with demi-eagles displayed are often associated with dying of fabric.
From Paul Cannon, "The following link is to a further Czech find of a seal in same style. Wagstadt/Bilovic is just 25 km from Opava. It also throws light on the possible inscription beneath the ‘fraction’. LovecPokladu.cz and another LovecPokladu."
