ANST - Re: Scrolls & Charters - Thank you

Royal Seals?!   Oh...., don't really want to go there!

When you are talking 'historical' seals, they are usually attached to the
tail end of the document, which has been folded in some special way, with a
ribbon run through the paper, and dangling down.  Instead of the wax poured
directly onto the paper, the best historical way I have seen is that the
sealing wax is melted into a small open disk (sort of like a bottle top)
which holds the wax, then the seal is placed in the wax.     Generally, we
do not get this complex on our signing with seals as a rule, and most
people set the process up wrong.

A major problem with seals is that they can dry up and crack and fall off..
secondly, in our heat, big problems if a scroll is left in a car or even
out in the open.     I think its a 'pretty' idea, and can be really nice,
if done correctly... but should probably be reserved for the very artistic
handworked scrolls, in my humble opinion.

How about stamping the royal seal on the award at the time of giving it?

That is easier than having the crown sign it at the time of announcement
and the seal can be a as simple as an embosser with the kingdom symbol on
it or a quicky wax job with an official wax and seal handler so that all
the monarch has to do is smear the wax and stamp it.

 I just had a thought, perhaps one of the things that could be done to
 make it "special" is to have the King and Queen, sign it, right before
 their eyes.  I am remembering a scene from Elizabeth R, where she is to
give
 Robert Dudley some kind of title and estate (Duke of ?).  All she needs to
 do is sign the document in front of her.  She refuses, causing a scene of
 course, but I think it would be neat if instead of something "pretty", you
 knew that this was legitimate recognition of your efforts, because by God,
 you had the King's hand right there on your Scroll/Charter!  I know there
 are logistic nightmares to that but it's something to keep in mind...
