Is someone familiar with this kind of revenues? I found a bunch of them in an old box.

Thanks, Smauggie. I have tried to find them out in the Forbin catalogue, but I didn't have a success for these specific issues (although a lot of similar issues are listed).

All of them have a nice-preserved stamps on the back sides, too (just as the earlier, on the blue paper embossed, revenues).

The small piece of metal is tin and it's a staple that binds the stamp base paper to the document that was being stamped.

There was usually a "cypher label" (with the royal initials) stuck on the reverse side of the document over the ends of the staple.
