This means that seals like this are VERY easy to break (which was their purpose, back in the day). So I&#039;d be very careful with it. Personally, I&#039;d get the document framed as soon as possible, to prevent potential damage. Once it&#039;s framed, and you can handle it safely - then you can start deciphering what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
