Original Document From The Reign Of King George 11. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2 nd class I believe this to be an indenture , I have seen others from different periods but never one with the picture of King George 11 and the inscription across the top . Also there would have been a seal attached to the document , which due to time she has disintegrated and cracked and fallen off . I have included the pieces of seal that is left It is approaching 300 years old , so obviously you can see there is some damage from the photos , with reflects in the price , all said this is still a remarkable piece of History to own King George 11 reigned (1727 - 1760) I usually dispatch with in three working days of cleared payment
