two land grants tied to the same argyll estate, one with replaced wax and one with an apparently untouched seal tag.
Two land grants tied to the same Argyll estate, both dated 1698. One carries a replacement wax seal that has been re-mounted on a later parchment tag. The second has an apparently untouched seal tag and original wax with the usual fingerprints. The pair were reviewed together to compare the two presentations.
