The mystery lead bag seal. Tried to pinpoint exactly where it came from via online sites filled with proper experts. Bag seal experts. I know! Anyway, as @donald_morrison says, below, we think it is a Dutch customs seal, with the Lesser Arms of the Netherlands, as seen in the left hand photo. The other side we think says LEAIDEN 5385, but it’s a new one to all who’ve seen it. Can any of you experts out there help?
