[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9499108, member: 2844"]It is a recruitment ordinance, for the military. If it was used in the musical, it can't be older than 1985. They wouldn't have used a genuine antique ordinance but a copy. I don't remember if Victor Hugo had the complete text of an ordinance in his book, but I don't think it likely. They probably found an old one and copied it for a realistic depiction of the scene. Looks like you have a stage prop. Also, the original ones were usually pasted on walls, so damaged once taken down. I have never seen the musical, but I imagine they use one copy per show. I think every show one would be pasted on the stage 'wall'.[/QUOTE]
