<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1685903, member: 12789"]Unfortunately you will find "remainders" that were signed, numbered etc - but far after the fact. I have seen people take 150 year old Canal Bank notes and fill in the serial numbers and sign signatures on them in ball point pen! The ink is usually the giveaway - even if they use a fountain pen or quill like they would have at the time, ink ages over time. Also ink during the 19th century was a bit acidic and reacted to the paper over time, either through discolouration or worse yet - deterioration around the signature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
