The impression photos below cannot be classified with certainty beyond the basic seal design due to:
  • a weak impression
  • an offset impression
  • an abraded/eroded impression
  • a broken/fragmented handle

Visit the Stamp Interpretation Tricks page for more information about problems with seal impression identifications.
