<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1715804, member: 39&quot;]Just came across a similar &quot;thing&quot; elsewhere. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Apparently a company or studio named Binroth, in the town of Delitzsch (Saxony), made quite a few seals in that style. Yours features Magdeburg (in the state of Saxony-Anhalt); here is one for <a href="http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wachssiegel-Faksimile-Stadt-Bitterfeld-1945-/360620495361" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wachssiegel-Faksimile-Stadt-Bitterfeld-1945-/360620495361" rel="nofollow">Bitterfeld</a> (today Bitterfeld-Wolfen, in Saxony-Anhalt).
